The well-known industrial designer Jony Ive has left his role as chief design officer at Apple in 2019 after more than 20 years working with the company. Ive created his own design firm, but he remained a consultant to Apple nonetheless. However, it seems that this partnership has now come to an end.
In a new report in The New York Times, journalist and writer Tripp Mickle has revealed that Jony Ive is no longer an Apple consultant. Citing two sources familiar with the contract, the journalist claims that the consulting agreement between Apple and Jony Ive is over, which means that Ive no longer has a role – even a small one – in Apple’s product development.
