Jony Ive Returns To Apple Design Management Role After Two Years (9to5mac.com)
Zac Hall, writing for 9to5Mac: Jony Ive, Apple's chief design officer, is returning to his management role within Apple's design group after handing off managerial duties in 2015. 9to5Mac noted that Ive's design deputies Dye and Haywarth were no longer listed on Apple's leadership page earlier today.
Well, I guess everything is going to get even flatter and less serviceable and upgradable.
The new 2018 MacBook Pro will have only one port called the USB-C-Flat and the case will be made of two-ply aluminum foil because everyone needs to keep their Mac in a manilla envelope. The entire machine will be made with a new revolutionary lamination process because pentalobe screws are ugly. The keyboard won't have actual keys of instead be a silkscreen over a giant touch pad. Yes, the keyboard and the touch pad will merge into one gloriously flat surface. The CPU, GPU, and RAM will be laminated into the aluminum and the whole case will become a giant glorious heatsink eliminating the needs for any fans. The battery will be a next generation ultra flat non-liquid electrolyte design. The entire $2000 compute can be recycled after two years by running it through a shredder and you can purchase another one.
Then Lenovo, HP, ASUS, and Acer will all copy this stupid new design,
I would so much like to be the head of design at Apple. I would make cool, modular stuff and there would be a Phat-Book Pro!
Johnny your ruining the laptop design world, please retire. It's time.
Missing apostrophe and it should be 'ed', not 's'. Such slack editing.
