From the Wired interview with Jonathan Ive:
“Up until that time Apple made general computing devices,” Ive recalled in Tuesday’s talk. “And one of the things that was so unique about the computer was its ability to be general purpose. And I think what the iPod really marked was the beginning of creating far more specific products and devices.”
When Ive thinks back to all of his time with Jobs, he remembers him less for his achievements and more for his values and priorities in his way of working. “There was this relish, this celebration of being surprised,” Ive remembers of Jobs. “Even if the surprise actually meant that he was wrong. He was far more interested in the learning than in being right.”
