It's sad and frustrating that we are surrounded by products that seem to testify to a complete lack of care. That's an interesting thing about an object. One object speaks volumes about the company that produced it and its values and priorities.

More quotes by Jonathan Ive

The delight and joy of curiosity and learning can temper our fear of doing something completely new.

To create something that's genuinely new, you have to start again, and I think with great intent, you disconnect from the past.

Ive (2012)

I think a beautiful product that doesn't work very well is ugly.

Very often design is the most immediate way of defining what products become in people's minds.

There's an applied style of being minimal and simple, and then there's real simplicity. This looks simple, because it really is.
