苹果应该让功勋设计师来管的21个理由

    假如说苹果（Apple）目前的高管中有谁对该公司众多成功产品有贡献，那么此人非乔纳森（或“乔尼”）·伊夫莫属。自1992年加盟苹果公司以来，伊夫干干净净、极简抽象派的设计一直受到顾客的热捧和竞争者的效仿。这些设计中包括最早的浅色一体式iMacs，也包括最近的7.9英寸屏迷你版iPad。

    本周早些时候，苹果公司宣布现年45岁的伊夫将承担更多职责，领导苹果人机界面的设计工作。它在声明中解释：“10多年来，伊夫令人惊叹的设计美学一直是苹果产品的外观和感觉背后的推动力。”伊夫的作品堪称完美，下面就是21个明证。

Since joining Apple in 1992, Ive's unmistakably clean, minimalist designs have been the stuff customers lust after and competitors emulate, from those first pastel-colored all-in-one iMacs to more recently, the 7.9-inch-sized iPad minis.

    In an expanded role announced earlier this week, Ive, 45, will steer the design of Apple's human interfaces. "His incredible design aesthetic has been the driving force behind the look and feel of Apple's products for more than a decade," the company explained in a statement. Here are 21 reminders why his work remains untouchable.
