It should not be a surprise that if you hire Ive to design something, it's gonna look like an iPad. It should not be a surprise that Ferrari stakeholders don't want an iPad car.

This is just gross incompetence all around.

Above all, Ive had an ethical responsibility to protect his clients from harming themselves by refusing the commission.

The squircles and rounded triangles kill the interior for me.
Or arbitrarily remove something that everyone takes for granted. Like the glove box or the door handles.
The jokes practically write themselves, right? :)
And you have to flip it over and charge it from the underside.
Let' just hope it doesn't bend.
I mean, if Rolex hired Apple and gotten the Apple Watch then nobody except Jony Ive would have been happy either.
