About this audiobook
The bestselling author of Inside Steve's Brain profiles Apple's legendary chief designer, Jonathan Ive
Jony Ive's designs have not only made Apple one of the most valuable companies in the world; they've overturned entire industries, from music and mobile phones to PCs and tablets.
But for someone who has changed the world as much as he has, little is widely known about Apple's senior vice president of industrial design. Unlike his former boss and creative partner Steve Jobs, Ive shuns the spotlight. Naturally shy and soft-spoken, he lets his work speak for itself and concerns himself only with his craft.
In the first book to focus on Ive, Leander Kahney offers a rigorous and systematic examination of a remarkably creative career and provides insight into the principles underlying Ive's success.
Having covered Apple as an editor since the 1990s and interviewed Ive on numerous occasions, Kahney offers a unique perspective on how this man designs killer products that attract fanatically loyal customers.

Reviews for Jony Ive
29 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Partly a biography of Ive, but in large part, about design at Apple. I won't look at Apple products (or other phones, tablets, computers, or operating systems) in the same way ever again. I also learned a bit about manufacturing processes. This book made me think a lot about industrial design and manufacturing. The author is an unabashed fan of Apple. He did bring up a few criticisms of Apple and Ive.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5More detail on some of the later Apple products which is perhaps to be expected. Not bad for a journalist written book, although it does suffer from the over enthusiastic attribution of facts.
