    Ex-Apple design head Jony Ive has spoken at the Stripe Sessions 2025 conference about his career going from the UK to Silicon Valley, and from Apple to his own firm, LoveFrom. Jony Ive has been making more public appearances lately, certainly compared to his more private time when he was in Apple and tended to speak just on launch videos.
