Jony Ive has been an important part of the company's product designs over the years Apple and for a long time he had his own way of expressing almost everything that society came up with. However, not everything went according to his imagination.
During an episode of The Vergecast, veteran journalist Walt Mossberg recounted an anecdote he was told by a “high-ranking source” who is very familiar with the company’s products. Mossberg explained that due to changes in how co-founder Steve Jobs a Tim Cook worked with Ivo, there was a possibility at one point that the product line MacBookIt narrows from two rows to one.

"Tim is a man who knows what he doesn't know. He knew he wasn't the product type," Mossberg said in an interview. That's why Tim Cook handed over more authority to Jony Ive, both in hardware and software, because he treated the designer differently than Jobs, whose approach was a bit more directive:"Steve Jobs would tear him away from his crazier instincts. Steve Jobs would say 'no' to some things and 'yes' to others. Tim Cook "he didn't do that," describes Mossberg.
After giving Ive more control and Ive lacking Jobs' unyielding oversight, Ive decided that "may not exist" Air and For". “He decided he could make a Pro that was as light and as thin—or even thinner—than the MacBook Air"And it would be a higher-priced machine, so it would be better for their bottom line and people would buy it even if they didn't need the extra power," Mossberg described Ivo's confident plan. Ive appears to have been serious about merging the two product lines, which Mossberg describes allegedly sparked disagreements between the design team and the company's engineering and product management divisions.
The pressure from the engineers was because they desperately wanted an improved version Airbecause it was the best-selling product of its time, which almost everyone wanted, and which they did not want to destroy at any cost by merging it with another computer. Mossberg concludes his story with the words:"Product specialists and engineers managed to pull it back. And they launched a new MacBook Air s mini"minor changes, but it was a new model." However, Mossberg admits that the story is not exactly journalistically correct because it comes from only one source and is based on only minimum of further evidence.
