  • Dieter Rams: Apple Has Achieved Something I Never Did
    February 3, 2012, taken from http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/apple/8555503/Dieter-Rams-Apple-has-achieved-something-I-never-did.html Dieter Rams: Apple has achieved something I never did As Apple prepares for its latest announcement Dieter Rams, Braun’s designer and Apple’s inspiration, writes exclusively for The Daily Telegraph. Matt Warman reports. 8:00AM BST 04 Jun 2011 Designer Dieter Rams, pictured with a Braun radio on some Vitsoe units and (inset) a portable Braun radio he de- signed along with an original Jonathan Ive-designed iPod Photo: REX On Monday, Apple will announce what’s next for its globally popular range of iPods, iPhones, tablets and computers, and the strand running through all of it will be peerless design, integrating software and hardware to produce devices and services that are popular because they are simple. The man behind that is Briton Jonathan Ive, officially the senior vice president of industrial design at Ap- ple, and he has long acknowledged Dieter Rams as his inspiration. Rams, who has never spoken at any length about Apple, was the man behind Braun when it made a host of classic gadgets from radios to juicers, and he’s the subject of a forthcoming celebration published by Phaidon, to which Ive has written the foreword. 1 | Page February 3, 2012, taken from http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/apple/8555503/Dieter-Rams-Apple-has-achieved-something-I-never-did.html When Ive talks about Rams designing “surfaces that were without apology, bold, pure, perfectly- proportioned, coherent and effortless”, he could equally be talking about the iPod.

  • Secrets at Apple's Core [Entire Talk]
    Stanford eCorner Secrets at Apple's Core [Entire Talk] Adam Lashinsky, Author May 23, 2012 Video URL: http://ecorner.stanford.edu/videos/2973/Secrets-at-Apples-Core-Entire-Talk Adam Lashinsky, Fortune senior editor-at-large, shares an insider look at Apple, one of the world's most iconic and secretive companies. Based on his research into the technology giant's internal processes and approaches to leadership and building products, Lashinsky offers insights and surprises from his book, Inside Apple: How America's Most Admired--and Secretive-- Company Really Works. Transcript Almost exactly a year-ago this week I published an article in Fortune magazine with the same title as you see in front of you, Inside Apple. We decided at Fortune that in Apple we had a company that the entire world thought they knew a lot about because the world knew about Apple's products. And they knew about Apple's advertising and its image and its brand and its logo and so on. When in fact the world knew and really still does know very little about how Apple does what it does, what goes on inside Apple? There is a reason for that and it's a major part of my thesis and what I've learned in researching this company intensely over the last year and that is that Apple doesn't want us to know what goes on inside Apple. Apple is professionally focused on telling us, telling you about its products. Not about it. As a business journalist, my job is not to be concerned with what Apple is interested in us knowing, but what my readers at Fortune magazine ought to know and want to know.

Jonathan Ive https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Ive Sir Jonathan Paul Ive, KBE (born 27 February 1967)[3] is a British designer and the Chief Design Officer (CDO) of Apple Inc. He oversees the Apple Industrial Design Group and also provides leadership and direction for Human Interface software teams across the company. Ive is the designer of many of Apple's products, including the MacBook Pro, iMac, MacBook Air, Mac mini, iPod, iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad, iPad Mini, Apple Watch and iOS. From <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jonathan_Ive&oldid=710842687> Ive: "Why do we think that simple is good? Because with physical products, we have to feel we can dominate them. As you bring order to complexity, you find a way to make the product defer to you. Simplicity isn't just a visual style. It's not just minimalism or the absence of clutter. It involves digging through the depth of the complexity. To be truly simple, you have to go really deep. For example, to have no screws on something, you can end up having a product that is so convoluted and so complex.
