AMEN. I hope this jagoff's incredibly degrading influence on Apple's products can be reversed.
Yeah, the designer of the iMac, iPod, iPhone, iPad, Macbook really tanked the company with those.
Given his penchant for thinness over function, I hope this means we can have a thicker pro laptop again, with all the ports back and a more robust keyboard.
I left Apple years ago because of this. Extremes are never good. Hardware was getting thin and UI flat for the sake of looking pretty to the masses. And from what I see things got a bit worse. I actually prefer the aesthetics of early MacBook / MacBook Pro unibody and iPhone SE. And they were a pleasure to use. Good key travel and easy to hold with one hand, respectively. I hope there is a bit of function re-introduc…
Personally I hope his client sends him way less work than he’s anticipating.
I, even (especially?) as a long-time Apple fanboy, am looking forward to some fresh design blood in the Apple ecosystem. AAPL is down about 1%. So I guess the market values Ive at around $9B? :P

They're not mutually exclusive.
There's a strong argument that form has undone the function of some of Apple's hardware.
Success in no way precludes the possibility of bad decisions.

4S was the pinnacle of miniaturization tech. The SE screensize would fit in the 4S form-factor.
Most popular comment was “I can fit this in my pocket.”
I wouldn't be surprised if all the latest Apple problems originated from engineering constraints imposed by his decisions. From the trashcan Mac Pro to the butterfly keyboard.
With the iPhone X Apple put serious R&D into a display that folds back on itself for the sole reason that a phone is more ascetically pleasing when the boarders are symmetrical. Even after a year and a half every phone except the iPhone has an asymmetrical chin. Will Apple still be able to make decisions like that without Ive in a leadership position? For Apple's sake I really hope so.
