Čujete li i vi kuče?

The 52-year-old Ive retired from the routine management of Apple’s elite design team, which made him rudderless, increasingly inefficient, and ultimately weakened by a series of departures, employees in the company’s vicinity say.

The internal drama explains a lot about Apple’s dilemma. The Apple Watch, an important new post-job era product, made its debut five years ago. The iPhone business is faltering, and newer versions, such as the wireless AirPods, have not been enough to offset the decline in sales. Since the iPad, which was launched in 2010, there was no Megahit product more.

However, his departure from the company confirms the triumph of operational business over design at Apple, a fundamental shift from a business driven by hardware magic to a business focused on maintaining profit margins and exploiting it Apple’s hardware success to sell software and services.

The Apple Watch and AirPods’ wireless earphones have gained momentum, but are still relatively small.

Apple’s recent attempt to enter an important new hardware category, the HomePod Smart Speaker, was disappointed.

In January 2018, Apple dropped iPhone X production in light of weak demand. The company reported record iPhone sales for the higher price, but sales remained flat, a rarity following the launch of a major new model.

In May, Apple employees and guests received an invitation to celebrate the official opening of the company’s headquarters with a concert by Lady Gaga. Mr. Ive, who is listed as a co-organizer, was not there. He had flown back to the UK to see his sick father.

I konačno, vr’ vr’ova:

Mr. Ive’s old design team – a group of aesthetes once considered gods in Apple – reports to COO Jeff Williams, a mechanical engineer with a M.B.A.

Tim Cook (parafraziran): “teška budalaština”.

Rene razgovarao sa May-Li Khoe koja je radila u ID odeljenju. Još par nekadašnjih Apple radnika o saradnji sa Ive-om.

Panzer napisao sjajan tekst na Tech Crunchu. Jean-Louis Gassée takođe.

Privacy ludilo

Superhuman, neki novi cloud-based email klijent, ladno trackuje gde svaki korisnik otvara svaki email. Posle dosta pljuvke, menjaju ploču. Barem su prestali da kopaju rupu.

Zoom Mac klijent zezanje. Majstori ladno mislili da je to ok.

Apple ažurirao Malware Removal Tool da utepa dotični web server. To đubre se (slično Dropboxu) ponaša kao malware.

Apple privremeno ukinuo Walkie Talkie app na watchOS 5.

Tehnopolis 73: Džoni preko fakture

Tehnopolis

Vraćamo se mikrofonima posle prve letnje pauze, desilo se toliko toga da početak leta uopšte nije morao da bude vruć. YouTube pokušava da se obračuna sa diskriminacijom, Facebook pravi ekipu oko kriptovalute, Google je tvitovao kako će izgledati novi Pixel, a dok su Trump i Xi razgovarali o budućnosti svojih odnosa, Jony Ive odlučio je da napusti Apple i osnuje svoju agenciju čiji će Apple biti klijent. Što bi se u Srbiji reklo, prešao je na fakturu.
