For the first time, Apple’s status as the most innovative company in consumer technology might be challenged by the man who created its most iconic products. Jonny Ive worked closely with Steve Jobs on all of Apple’s signature products: the iPhone, iPod, MacBook, iPad, and Watch. He left in 2019 to start his own design firm, LoveFrom, and started io last year with many other high-profile Apple staffers, Scott Cannon, Evans Hanke, and Tang Tan, as Bloomberg highlighted when the deal was announced.
