I think we’ve already been seeing work done by “the new guy.”

My gut says that the last new Apple product Ive was deeply involved in was Apple Watch. After that, I think he was on Apple Park and Apple Car, all the time. And the car project stalled, and Apple Park is complete, so here we are.

He obviously had a supervisory role as VP of Design, but I don’t think his full attention was on any recently shipped Apple product. I think he was more or less done with iterating and was focusing his talent solely on shaping new, big projects.

People get bored. I don’t think there was anything about, say, the retina MacBook Air that interested him.

and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong
