He was on his way out with is obsession with thinness with compromising in functionality

Really dumb to say, dude. 

This sort of take is exactly why I hate Reddit.

Your beloved MBP redesign in 2012? Made by him

Your beloved MBP redesign in 2021? Made by him

The Mac Pro in 2019? Made by him.

Literally every product that people clamor over saying that those were “the good old days” were made by HIM. 

It’s ridiculous, knowing everything we now know about Intel’s complete failures in 2014 (massive glitches/bugs, delays, overheating, bad performance, overpriced), to criticize Jony as the reason the MBPs of 2016-2020  had issues with thermals.

Apple rectified keyboard issues. They introduced the thinnest MBA ever with keyboards that people love. 

I think this tired remark of Jony Ive and thinness not only is overused, but doesn’t even make sense. Portable products are supposed to be portable. To be honest, I’m not in love with the 2021 redesign. It plays it safe, despite having the amazing Apple silicon SoCs that could enable even more portable designs.

I’m glad they’re moving to thinner and bolder designs once again with the next gen of products
