Rob Waugh在英國的dailymail com，寫了一篇有關蘋果五虎將之一的Jonathan Ive的介紹文章。圖文並茂，大家一定要看，很精采(How did a British polytechnic graduate become the design genius behind £200billion Apple?)
老人介紹他多次，不想再講。但只提醒大家Jonathan Ive至少現在不會離開蘋果！二月底的謠言不成立。
Jonathan Ive is completely in tune with Apple's DNA！
Jonathan Ive的故事就是一個"慧眼識英雄"的故事。1992年他就到美國加入蘋果。但不受重視，幾年後想回英國。但剛好碰到1997年班師回朝的Steve Jobs。他加入Steve Jobs的主要設計團隊，而成為Jobs的主要左右手。
"But just as Ive was considering a return to England, his luck changed. In 1997, Steve Jobs returned to Apple after an absence of 12 years. He purged the company, dropping most of its products and dispensing with staff. Eventually, Jobs took a tour of the design department, then based across the street from Apple’s main campus.  ‘Jobs comes in, looks at all Ive’s amazing prototypes and says, “My God, what have we got here?”’ says Kahney. Jobs swiftly brought Ive in from the cold, moving the designers into a building on campus and investing in the latest rapid-prototyping equipment. He also beefed up Apple’s security, locking down the design studio to prevent leaks and installing a private kitchen so designers wouldn’t talk shop in public."
