About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
An intimate look at the legendary British designer behind Apple's most iconic products - including the Apple Watch.
With the death of Steve Jobs in 2011, Jony Ive has become the most important person at Apple. Some would argue he always was.
Steve Jobs discovered Ive in 1997, when he found the scruffy British designer toiling away in a studio surrounded by hundreds of sketches and prototypes. Jobs instantly realised he had found a talent who could reverse Apple's decline, and become his 'spiritual partner'.
Their collaboration produced iconic products including the iMac, iPod, iPad and iPhone - designs that overturned entire industries and created the world's most powerful brand.
Little has been known about this shy, softly spoken designer. Until now. Jony Ive: The Genius Behind Apple's Greatest Products tells the riveting story of a creative genius, from his early interest in industrial design to his meteoric rise, as well as the principles and practices that led Ive to become the designer of his generation.

Perhaps now a little dated
This is a competent history of Jony Ive’s time at Apple although does come across as tending to be a little fawning. I think the main problem is that so much more information has now emerged about Ive’s relationship with Apple since the book was released.
I did find the narration a little ‘stagey’.

actually a biography of Steve Jobs
having previously listened to a number of Jibs biographies was keep to see Apple from another angle - and really disappointed to hear yet another Steve Jobs biography masquerading as an Ive's bio

Only for inconditional Apple religion followers
First, the book is more about Apple than about Jony Ive. Second is imprecise, misleading and often false.
