Jobs, Ive on the role of design at Apple

The Financial Times quotes CEO Steve Jobs about the role of design in Apple products: "The way we define design at Apple is not just about what products look like, it's about how they work." Jonathan Ive also notes Apple's small design team which focuses on making products less intrusive: "With the new iMac, if you just sit there for 10 minutes and move the display around, you quickly forget about its design. The design gets out of the way. We are not interested in design statements. We do everything we can to simplify design."

    design

    It would be wonderful if they could DESIGN a computer that instead of replacing the whole thing, you could replace a CPU with a faster one, the length of time it takes to go up 100 mhz, it would be nice to just replace the cpu, since the power pc chips don't increase in speed by leaps and bounds like the competition, you wouldn't need to change the whole infrastructure of the system to accomidate a 100 mhz speed bump, and ever bit of mhz helps in the meantime of waiting for something truly faster to come out, like a G5.

    "It would be wonderful if they could DESIGN a computer that instead of replacing the whole thing, you could replace a CPU with a faster one,"

    Then you should be ecstatic; Apple have been doing exactly that for years now. If not, Sonnet and XLR8 would be doing very different business, if any.
