With the early prototypes, I held the phone to my ear and my ear [would] dial the number. You have to detect all sorts of ear-shapes and chin shapes, skin colour and hairdo... that was one of just many examples where we really thought, perhaps this isn’t going to work.

You have to deeply understand...

You have to deeply understand the essence of a product in order to be able to get rid of the parts that are not essential.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

The best design explicitly ac...

The best design explicitly acknowledges that you cannot disconnect the form from the material - the material informs the form.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

It's actually a rare and precious thing to discover what it is you love to do, and I encourage you to remain unapologetically consumed by it. Be faithful to your gift and very confident in its value.

A beautiful product that doesn't work very well is ugly.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

Different and new is relative...

Different and new is relatively easy. Doing something thats genuinely better is very hard.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

The word design is everything...

The word design is everything and nothing. The design and the product itself are inseparable.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

If you expect me to buy somet...

If you expect me to buy something where all I can sense is carelessness, actually I think that is personally offensive.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

Eight years of work can be co...

Eight years of work can be copied in six months. It wasn't inevitable that it was going to work. A stolen design is stolen time.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

Even in high school, I was ke...

Even in high school, I was keenly aware of this remarkable tradition that the U.K. had of designing and making.

Apple's Industrial Design team is harder to get into than the Illuminati, and part of the reason is because no one leaves. In the last 15 years, not one of the 18 designers has ditched Apple for greener pastures.

I'm always focussed on the actual work, and I think that's a much more succinct way to describe what you care about than any speech I could ever make.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

Growing up, I enjoyed drawing...

Growing up, I enjoyed drawing, but it was always in the service of an idea. I drew all the time, and I enjoyed making.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

We try to develop products that seem somehow inevitable, that leave you with the sense that that's the only possible solution that makes sense.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

We all use something - you ca...

We all use something - you can't drill holes with your fingers. Whether it's a knife, a needle, or a machine, we all need the help of a device.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

We shouldn't be afraid to fai...

We shouldn't be afraid to fail- if we are not failing we are not pushing. 80% of the stuff in the studio is not going to work. If something is not good enough, stop doing it.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

I always like when you start ...

I always like when you start to use something with a little less reverence. You start to use it a little carelessly, and with a little less thought, because then, I think, you're using it very naturally.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

We’re keenly aware that when ...

We’re keenly aware that when we develop and make something and bring it to market that it really does speak to a set of values. And what preoccupies us is that sense of care, and what our products will not speak to is a schedule, what our products will not speak to is trying to respond to some corporate or competitive agenda. We’re very genuinely designing the best products that we can for people.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

And I said couldn't we be mor...

And I said couldn't we be more moderate? And he said why? And I said because I care about the team. And he said, 'No Jony, you're just really vain. You just want people to like you. I'm surprised at you, because I thought you really held the work up as the most important and not how you are perceived by people.' People misunderstand Steve because he was so focused.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

I think it's a wonderful view ...

I think it's a wonderful view that care was important - but I think you can make a one-off and not care and you can make a million of something and care. Whether you really care or not is not driven by how many of the products you're going to make.
