Jony Ive’s Fragmented Legacy: Unreliable, Unrepairable, Beautiful Gadgets

Kyle Wiens makes a great point:

[Dieter] Rams loves durable products that are environmentally friendly. That’s one of his 10 principles for good design: “Design makes an important contribution to the preservation of the environment.” But Ive has never publicly discussed the dissonance between his inspiration and Apple’s disposable, glued-together products.

When a single broken key requires replacing a laptop’s entire top case, there is no denying that Apple has given too little consideration to the durability of its products.

I’m extremely curious to find out how (if?) Apple’s design philosophy will change with Ive gone.
