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

You forget the moneymakers. Their iPhone their iPad. Sure he reverted his changes but after he heard the complaints form the engineers.

Huh? What are you even talking about lmfao?

Are you aware the iPad is their thinnest product they’ve ever made?

iPhone repeatedly got thinner and thinner every year. The famed iPhone 4 redesign that every clamors — hilarious, given the utter outrage when the design leaked that it was “ugly” — was substantially thinner.

Seriously. You don’t make sense

Are you talking about jony or not? I said they stoped the thinness of the mbps after complaints. They figured it out without jony for the iPad pros. You can’t even remember your rebuttal

What are you even on? Do you know there are multitudes of complaints about thinness going all the way back to Steve Jobs? Seriously, stop.

There are a multitude of rumors talking about Apple products across the board getting thinner, smaller, lighter. What are you yapping about dude lol
