As the iPhone X deadline loomed, Apple's top software designers gathered at San Francisco's The Battery. They were there to show features to Jony Ive. He was 3 hours late.

What’s eating Apple? The deep, inside story on a rudderless design team as Jony’s distanced himself from Apple and Tim Cook for years - despite public shows of solidarity and increased pay packages + titles. @trippmickle https://t.co/4mXx7Z1vJ4

Apple hit the classic wartime vs peace time CEO challenge that hits every company. You start off with an aggressive founder that pushes growth & innovation then as you hit peak, company needs a leader who can manage at scale & grow revenue + profits. https://t.co/mC8148DdVu

Jony Ive Is Leaving Apple. His departure from the company cements the triumph of operations over design at Apple, a fundamental shift from a business driven by hardware wizardry to one focused on maintaining profit margins ? https://t.co/pF71L3OKqS

Look at Siri.
Look at #AppleEdu.
Look at the iPhones themselves.
Look at the stores.
Everything is in a state of disrepair. https://t.co/cLRzY0dn6n
It’s probably good Ive is out so that other people who show up on time and are easier to fire when they screw up can take over?

This would make sense. It's so hard for any tech company to have a long and dominant growth run. The early "haves" and "have nots" clash. People retire. Risk tolerance declines. Rich less motivated than newbies. Remember the Sony run? https://t.co/43WrXpii2U

We don't get to rest on our laurels and focus exclusively on extracting more dollars from captured users. This is mistake Microsoft made in Ballmer transition.

조니 아이브는 몇년전부터 실질적인 경영진 업무를 하지 않았고 팀 쿡이 재무와 운영 중심 회사로 만드는 과정에서 좌절감을 느꼈다고 그의 측근들이 말했다. 스티브잡스가 그의 스튜디오에 찾아오면 새로운 시안을 보여주는 문화가 있었으나 잡스가 죽고 그 문화는 사라졌다. https://t.co/KwpJ0Bc01z

"absurd" since way before it was trending.
By the way, read the dynamite story that all of Silicon Valley is talking about (and which Apple and Tim Cook have raised exactly zero factual objections to): https://t.co/v13HS4qgk0 https://t.co/dpi0yR0ru8
In case you were wondering, this is the story Tim Cook called "absurd" but didn't actually refute in any specific or meaningful way. It's fantastic reporting from @trippmickle and a great story and extremely worth your time https://t.co/VpuJch8RHW

There was no Apple comment in the WSJ story. And no mention of the company declining to comment, outside of Ive's decline via a spokesperson.

(1/3) Look... The Steve Jobs era ended with the release of the Apple Watch. Every Apple design since has been uninspired because Cook - a COO by trade - doesn't prioritize design, doesn't understand design, and doesn't value design. https://t.co/WSmI6k30ak
