Jony Ive retires and all of a sudden Apple hardware starts making more "sense". I don't think that was a coincidence. The engineers are more influential than the designers at the moment.

Read a rumor somewhere that he made the edges of the MacBook in his prototype design so sharp to the point of serious discomfort to users, but he only changed it after Steve Jobs had to ask him about it.

The Jony Ive years will be remembered as that period when Apple made products thinner at any cost.
