Jony Ive: The Genius Behind Apple's Greatest Products

An adulating biography of Apples left-brained wunderkind, whose work continues to revolutionize modern technology. Kirkus Reviews In 1997, Steve Jobs discovered a scruffy British designer toiling away at Apples headquarters, surrounded by hundreds of sketches and prototypes. Jony Ives collaboration with Jobs would produce some of the worlds most iconic technology products, including the iMac, iPod, iPad, and iPhone. Ives work helped reverse Apples long decline, overturned entire industries, and created a huge global fan base. Yet little is known about the shy, soft-spoken whiz whom Jobs referred to as his spiritual partner. Leander Kahney offers a detailed portrait of the English art school student with dyslexia who became the most acclaimed tech designer of his generation. Drawing on interviews with Ives former colleagues and Apple insiders, Kahney takes us inside the creation of these memorable objects. (The Wall Street Journal)
