Jony says he felt "dispirited" by Tim Cook's lack of interest in design.

Jony's ideas about design caused apple to ship the non-functional butterfly keyboards for FOUR YEARS [1], as well as reducing the functionality of laptops by removing most ports and adaptors.

Now that he is gone, we have functional keyboards and ports again.

Designers will tell you that design is not only how something looks, but how it works. Where is the disconnect with the Jony Ive era of Mac hardware? He's a renown master of design, why doesn't it make sense!?

He's a master of aesthetics which I would argue is orthogonal to design.
