Not everyone loves/d Rams work either. Geniuses are, by definition, polarizing, as people either see the genius or refute it. Ive had his misses (butterfly keyboard, I’m looking at you) but his overall body of work was unprecedented and revolutionary. Sometimes it giveth, sometimes it taketh away. It’s not possible to overstate what Steve’s illness and death took from Jony, and we will sadly never know what more would have been possible had he still had access to a man who carried a jeweler’s loupe to look at pixel-level details to balance him out.
Thanks for the comment, Michael! I sure do wish we could have seen several more years of Jobs and Ive collaborating. And I hope before too much longer people will remember Jony for the great things he accomplished at Apple, and not for the butterfly keyboard. ;-)

Like Lennon needed McCartney, Ive needed Jobs.
