"Jony Ive becomes Apple’s chief of all Human Interface, could mean no more stitched leather in iOS"

This is very interesting. Ive has cringed at some of the interfaces lately, specifically the stitched leather. This is probably going to lead to a gradual shift away from the apple skeumorphism that people love to hate. This is big news for nerds like us.

Jony taking over Human Interface is great news.

Go, Jony go!

thank you, jesus. When I first saw the stitched leather I thought I was being punked. I just don't know how Ives or Jobs could have ever let some of that crap out the door.

Did Forstall have anything to do with the Maps debacle?

Great news. Apple have been producing incredible industrial design, though embarrassing UI design... good to see Ive take the reigns of both. Maybe we'll go back to the cleaner days of Snow Leopard or something better.

There was stitched leather, off with his head!

I've been saying Apple is fucked.
Top people are starting to jump ship.
They need something new and fast or they're done.

"Top people are starting to jump ship"? Only Forstall is leaving (I think we can ignore Browett), and reading between the lines it looks like he was pushed.

Why do many people find Jony Ive annoying?
- BusterBoy0
I don't find Ive particularly annoying. More, a completely self absorbed bloke who probably thinks his designs are more important than a cure for cancer.
Having said that, it's probably that type of obsessive character that is so suited for the job he has...it can just be quite funny when he almost creams himself during those Apple ads.

I didn't know about the stitched leather. Silly stuff.
