Increased Collaboration Of Apple Design Teams May Bring New iOS Visual Design
Posted in: Today's Chili
When Scott Forstall was pushed out of Apple it was said that this would usher in increased collaboration between the company’s hardware, software and services teams. His responsibilities were divided between Jony Ive, Bob Mansfield, Eddy Cue and Craig Federighi. According to a new report, this collaboration may result in a new iOS visual design. It is said that before this management shakeup software teams would be kept out of the loop by the industrial design team and that they would use their own secret software team for work on prototypes. The report suggests that Apple’s software a.k.a human interface team is now briefed on prototype devices earlier. On the other hand Jony Ive is now present at the mobile software’s review sessions and gives his input on new designs. The atmosphere of these sessions has been described as cordial, despite the fact that the leads of these two teams have very different personalities.

It’s no surprise to hear that Apple continually wins design awards around the world. Until now they’ve usually gone uncollected, but last night Jony Ive shipped out his entire senior design team to London to pick up two gongs—and perhaps signal that his influence is more important than ever. More »
