00:04:33 ◼   ► child was always sort of elevated it out will be on where they would have been a [TS]

00:04:36 ◼   ► maybe another company that would have been slaughtered in under some VP of [TS]

00:04:39 ◼   ► some software products division somewhere but you know and as i've sort [TS]

00:04:47 ◼   ► of written just dipping my toes in part of this is that one of the reasons Jony [TS]

00:04:53 ◼   ► ive wanted to bring user interface design and under his design teams [TS]

00:04:57 ◼   ► umbrella is that he wasn't exactly happy with all of the direction that that [TS]

00:05:04 ◼   ► interface design it gone at Apple in recent years many years prior and [TS]

00:05:08 ◼   ► because obviously it was a change I mean there's no I mean whether you love iowa [TS]

00:05:12 ◼   ► seven in Yosemite looks or whether you don't like them or whether you're [TS]

00:05:15 ◼   ► ambivalent about them nobody can deny that there was a shift in athletics [TS]

00:05:20 ◼   ► absolutely and that I feel like a slut gets blamed for a lot of that but you [TS]

00:05:25 ◼   ► know it was Steve Jobs airplane that had the famous Dutch leather texture that he [TS]

00:05:30 ◼   ► was a big proponent of that sort of importance and Greg Christie and I'm [TS]

00:05:33 ◼   ► blanking on the gentleman's last name badge who testified on the Samsung [TS]

00:05:37 ◼   ► lawsuits that subsequently left out they were intimately involved in the early [TS]

00:05:41 ◼   ► years of the ice on design that whole team in that whole focus and he really [TS]

00:05:45 ◼   ► did feel like he wanted something new right [TS]

00:05:48 ◼   ► and you know alan dies from you know came from as an apple turns marcom which [TS]

00:05:55 ◼   ► I don't do that widespread the industry I always thought that was sort of a nap [TS]

00:05:59 ◼   ► ilysm no I used to work for me it's always been normal in an enterprise and [TS]

00:06:04 ◼   ► I think you and I both work in print design for a while and I was found that [TS]

00:06:10 ◼   ► sort of background analyst Mark Edwards did that to always found that sort of [TS]

00:06:13 ◼   ► background really educational instead of moving into digital design and anyway [TS]

00:06:18 ◼   ► Craig Christy left Apple not immediately but he left in their pens are in a story [TS]

00:06:27 ◼   ► from April 19 2014 veteran designer Greg Christie departs and I don't know that [TS]

00:06:32 ◼   ► it's a simple I don't know the story there you know whether it was you know [TS]

00:06:37 ◼   ► just what you picked him said to me then I'm out you know I don't know or if it [TS]

00:06:41 ◼   ► was just you know but Chris had been there for a long time and it's you know [TS]

00:06:44 ◼   ► maybe you could just put his finger in the wind until it was time to go but yes [TS]

00:06:49 ◼   ► and there is definitely it was not exactly universally seen as the right [TS]

00:06:54 ◼   ► decision within Apple I think that's absolutely true that you said that [TS]

00:06:57 ◼   ► really well and it was a joke around the time the nightly match it was gonna hate [TS]

00:07:01 ◼   ► the direction yes yeah but there's a lot of people who fell into that camp of [TS]

00:07:06 ◼   ► liking rich textures and rich designs and they had to be on board a minor [TS]

00:07:10 ◼   ► standing as it was a really big meeting with this whole direction was announced [TS]

00:07:14 ◼   ► and not everybody was happy with it but at the same time you have people like [TS]

00:07:17 ◼   ► Christina people like army longer I who literally did force marathons marathons [TS]

00:07:23 ◼   ► of sprints for years and years and years and I think that comes to a point where [TS]

00:07:26 ◼   ► you just need to Stop behavior that intense level of doing iOS and a yearly [TS]

00:07:32 ◼   ► grind schedule [TS]

00:07:34 ◼   ► yeah so I think bottom line is because holworth is you know industrial design [TS]

00:07:42 ◼   ► has been under johnny's group that was in fact that was Johnny's group I think [TS]

00:07:46 ◼   ► just any old days joins group really was just industrial design and Howarth has [TS]

00:07:53 ◼   ► been part of that and clearly you know Johnny trust him and they've gotten [TS]

00:07:57 ◼   ► along that whole group has by all accounts and I've ever read has always [TS]

00:08:01 ◼   ► been very tight-knit and has gotten along extremely well that there's it's [TS]

00:08:05 ◼   ► not just that they do good work but that there's a true Colorado hurry I think [TS]

00:08:10 ◼   ► that's been part of the secret of keeping a lot of creative people they [TS]

00:08:14 ◼   ► don't go very long term Bill Watterson famously retired from Calvin and Hobbes [TS]

00:08:17 ◼   ► and some people like George Lucas end up making prequels which is not best of [TS]

00:08:21 ◼   ► their work and I think the relationship that I D group had backed out they were [TS]

00:08:26 ◼   ► off somewhere in the boonies and he brought them to IL to and set them up [TS]

00:08:30 ◼   ► and made them so important but that group seems to have kept them all fed [TS]

00:08:33 ◼   ► and energized alive for many many years right it's you know it's the holiest of [TS]

00:08:38 ◼   ► holy shit you know the inner sanctum in that state that is the center of [TS]

00:08:44 ◼   ► infinite loop is dead their design lab I mean maybe not the physical Center [TS]

00:08:49 ◼   ► obviously but it's the you know the place that the least viewers number of [TS]

00:08:53 ◼   ► people have ever seen very few key cards can't access right but it you know prior [TS]

00:09:01 ◼   ► to this shakeup where where you know forced always was ousted and UI design [TS]

00:09:08 ◼   ► was placed under Jony ive in that group prior to that there were a child there [TS]

00:09:13 ◼   ► were people who do as I can hii group but then there were also like it was [TS]

00:09:18 ◼   ► spread about where somebody might go off on a team and then they were you know [TS]

00:09:22 ◼   ► like I for example like with I think with the original iPhone and can you [TS]

00:09:24 ◼   ► correct me if I'm wrong because I could I could very much be wrong on this as a [TS]

00:09:28 ◼   ► basic story [TS]

00:09:29 ◼   ► but the basic gist was when they committed to doing the iPhone forestall [TS]

00:09:35 ◼   ► was placed in charge of the software and forestall went around the company [TS]

00:09:40 ◼   ► cherry-picking designers who he wanted and with you know this is this part is [TS]

00:09:47 ◼   ► true I don't know if he did it to everybody but at least for some people [TS]

00:09:50 ◼   ► it was I'm putting together a team to do something and it's going to be the [TS]

00:09:55 ◼   ► greatest thing in your career and I cannot tell you what it is but if you [TS]

00:09:58 ◼   ► want to join you know you'll work harder than you ever have but it's going to be [TS]

00:10:02 ◼   ► great you are you in or out and if they said they're in the neighbor on the team [TS]

00:10:05 ◼   ► but then it wasn't like there was this one interface group that part of what [TS]

00:10:11 ◼   ► they did is put together an iPhone team the iPhone team had its own interface [TS]

00:10:15 ◼   ► crew cherry pick from around the company and it was like that with other projects [TS]

00:10:20 ◼   ► to maybe to a lesser degree because the iPhone was a major major endeavor yet I [TS]

00:10:26 ◼   ► think that's absolutely true and I think cannot run debug was talking about how [TS]

00:10:30 ◼   ► they had to all be disclosed by Steve Jobs in when he wasn't around he would [TS]

00:10:34 ◼   ► have to go into one room look at the designs then walk out to the undisclosed [TS]

00:10:37 ◼   ► designers are described to them what they do which is it makes sense I could [TS]

00:10:44 ◼   ► see how it makes sense to Steve Jobs and it makes you know and it obviously [TS]

00:10:48 ◼   ► worked out for Apple to some degree but obviously was not a very there was an ad [TS]

00:10:53 ◼   ► hoc nature to user interface designed to software design and they had limited [TS]

00:10:59 ◼   ► design resources and had to be shared pool [TS]

00:11:02 ◼   ► it sounds like a really grueling project get out and I know once I think you [TS]

00:11:06 ◼   ► could argue you know maybe but you know it's one of those things where it [TS]

00:11:09 ◼   ► doesn't have to be there or they're not necessarily mutually exclusive on the [TS]

00:11:12 ◼   ► one side you could say that what johnnie I loved it orchestrated in 2011 with [TS]

00:11:16 ◼   ► forestall going out and all of you I design being placed under him and [TS]

00:11:21 ◼   ► picking new people to run it and setting a new style you could say that it was a [TS]

00:11:27 ◼   ► power grab that it was an expansion of just you know just ego and an expansion [TS]

00:11:32 ◼   ► of his power but I think very reasonable sent you could say it was a [TS]

00:11:38 ◼   ► growing up like it it made the process of UI design much more orderly within [TS]

00:11:44 ◼   ► Apple because it wasn't spread about where each individual project might peel [TS]

00:11:49 ◼   ► off its own team yeah I think that's absolutely true and he is interesting to [TS]

00:11:53 ◼   ► me is a Scott Forstall was widely known as it was known that is Steve Jobs said [TS]

00:11:58 ◼   ► I want leather for this is Scott wasn't around the designer was almost lose his [TS]

00:12:02 ◼   ► mind because it would just be no no no no no you weren't forty fifty a hundred [TS]

00:12:06 ◼   ► different designs but Scott was there he could say Steve will pick one of these [TS]

00:12:09 ◼   ► three and Steve would pick one of those three and that saved everyone a [TS]

00:12:12 ◼   ► tremendous amount of work but an apple where there's no Steve Jobs the value [TS]

00:12:17 ◼   ► that for hiv/aids is the combination the alchemy of that is very different and [TS]

00:12:22 ◼   ► then you have the same time someone like johnnie I'm sitting in the wings who was [TS]

00:12:25 ◼   ► on the record he said before he didn't like the scheme or fake design or not [TS]

00:12:29 ◼   ► arguably the best designer in the world who is not allowed to take control or to [TS]

00:12:33 ◼   ► to to influence of his tastes on the software that runs on his hardware and [TS]

00:12:38 ◼   ► then Tim Cook comes in and it always reminded me of what Steve Jobs returned [TS]

00:12:41 ◼   ► to Apple when he said [TS]

00:12:42 ◼   ► desktop laptop professional consumer and he came in and he just said design [TS]

00:12:47 ◼   ► services hardware and software and he made out very clean that way in a way [TS]

00:12:54 ◼   ► that it didn't need to be under jobs and again I think that emphasizes that part [TS]

00:12:57 ◼   ► of what made forestall talented and essential and so so important to the [TS]

00:13:02 ◼   ► history of especially iOS you know the iPhone and iPad wasn't just that he was [TS]

00:13:09 ◼   ► good manager and by all accounts he was he shipped OS is on time and there you [TS]

00:13:15 ◼   ► know some people would argue they were more reliable etc but I and an uncanny [TS]

00:13:24 ◼   ► ability he seemed to have is that he seemed it wasn't just that he had good [TS]

00:13:28 ◼   ► taste it was the heat new Steve's taste and that his you know they're one of the [TS]

00:13:34 ◼   ► profiles for something that was written one of the pieces that was written about [TS]

00:13:37 ◼   ► for starters it might have been an unnamed person who was complaining that [TS]

00:13:40 ◼   ► like you know [TS]

00:13:42 ◼   ► they present stuff to forestall and forestall would say Steve wouldn't like [TS]

00:13:45 ◼   ► that and then that was all they had to do is say Steven like it and that's [TS]

00:13:48 ◼   ► enough to bounce back to the drawing board and that it got tiresome over the [TS]

00:13:52 ◼   ► time but I think the fact that he lasted so long as a direct report to Steve Jobs [TS]

00:13:58 ◼   ► in that role [TS]

00:13:59 ◼   ► shows that he he was right there he knew what he would like and what he wouldn't [TS]

00:14:05 ◼   ► like that any company will you have some like Steve Jobs that's an essential [TS]

00:14:08 ◼   ► skill to get anything done and we've all heard the stories I can make that blue [TS]

00:14:13 ◼   ► more beautiful that can burn hours and weeks from the designer [TS]

00:14:17 ◼   ► if you can short-cut that process with someone like scott foresman immensely [TS]

00:14:20 ◼   ► valuable right because you couldn't just it wasn't like you were gonna get a [TS]

00:14:25 ◼   ► chance at 10 a.m. on a Tuesday when he says you know no that's not good enough [TS]

00:14:32 ◼   ► you don't get a chance at 10 a.m. the next day to also presented him you've [TS]

00:14:37 ◼   ► got a way you might be stuck waiting a week or longer before you get a chance [TS]

00:14:41 ◼   ► to to get your project in front of him yet what if there's something that's [TS]

00:14:45 ◼   ► worth fighting for a story like iTunes and Windows was great example but [TS]

00:14:48 ◼   ► there's a lot of smaller example Scott was somebody could go back to steve is a [TS]

00:14:51 ◼   ► look I really think which take another look at this and then projects that [TS]

00:14:54 ◼   ► might have otherwise been derailed in a few minutes sometimes be gradually get [TS]

00:14:58 ◼   ► back on track right so rather than just merely and being an arbiter of good [TS]

00:15:02 ◼   ► taste being an arbiter of Steve Jobs is good taste was essential and I think you [TS]

00:15:12 ◼   ► know hindsight clearly not very valuable to Apple after steve Jobs was does it [TS]

00:15:19 ◼   ► looks like he's not Steve Jobs he doesn't need that service and Jony ive [TS]

00:15:22 ◼   ► has peerless taste of his own so he doesn't mean that's right [TS]

00:15:27 ◼   ► different days and it does make you wonder in hindsight what some of cos [TS]

00:15:31 ◼   ► I've in [TS]

00:15:31 ◼   ► and and you know Steve Jobs famously you know where we're actually friends more [TS]

00:15:36 ◼   ► than just collaborators and ate lunch together all the time it makes you [TS]

00:15:40 ◼   ► wonder how much feedback Johnny had given him over the years you know that [TS]

00:15:45 ◼   ► was obviously rejected in terms of trying to steer the user interface in a [TS]

00:15:50 ◼   ► direction more palatable to himself without actually having any kind of [TS]

00:15:54 ◼   ► actual role in it I think something you said a couple years ago was really [TS]

00:15:58 ◼   ► astute there because the age before retina and especially when mobile [TS]

00:16:01 ◼   ► devices were really knew swipe to unlock nobody knew what that was so making a [TS]

00:16:05 ◼   ► giant group in there and making a very elaborate but it gave you that afforded [TS]

00:16:08 ◼   ► that visual clue of how you had to use that and/or Steve would say you know [TS]

00:16:13 ◼   ► this is a database app [TS]

00:16:14 ◼   ► no one cares about that give it a texture and it sounds dumb but if you're [TS]

00:16:18 ◼   ► stumbling home tired or drunk and you open up a nap in your contacts and [TS]

00:16:22 ◼   ► there's no there's nothing to tell you which contacted is maybe try to call a [TS]

00:16:25 ◼   ► cab in Game Center and you just you just don't know [TS]

00:16:28 ◼   ► so there were a lot of usability reasons and just philosophical reasons why I [TS]

00:16:32 ◼   ► think that started off but then as a transition to read into that sort of [TS]

00:16:35 ◼   ► texture doesn't hold up in here I think it's a combination i emphasize that my [TS]

00:16:40 ◼   ► years ago my thought was a lot more about the retina nan Ren and that you [TS]

00:16:45 ◼   ► needed the other thing was in addition to this the affordances of knowing what [TS]

00:16:49 ◼   ► to do and having that slide to unlock which as you know to me like just put [TS]

00:16:54 ◼   ► that design itself not even the whole iPhone but just put that slide to unlock [TS]

00:16:58 ◼   ► itself could then in the museum because that is it it it made people wow people [TS]

00:17:08 ◼   ► want to buy the phone just from slide to unlock and tell you how to use it right [TS]

00:17:12 ◼   ► I I have my thought a couple of years ago was simply about the fact that even [TS]

00:17:18 ◼   ► at a hundred and sixty-three pixels per inch which was pretty high for the time [TS]

00:17:22 ◼   ► in 2007 still wasn't that high [TS]

00:17:26 ◼   ► it was only high compared to the hundred and twenty-two hundred and thirty years [TS]

00:17:30 ◼   ► pixels per inch we had our Macs at the time that you needed to use those sort [TS]

00:17:35 ◼   ► of Photoshop style user interface designs just to make it look good so [TS]

00:17:41 ◼   ► that as soon as you look at it you thought wow that looks cool because [TS]

00:17:45 ◼   ► something like I was 7 it just doesn't look that great does nothing about it [TS]

00:17:52 ◼   ► makes you go well but I think that they are foreign stuff was important to cause [TS]

00:17:57 ◼   ► I think the basic idea with the original iPhone was that like Steve Jobs use the [TS]

00:18:04 ◼   ► analogy when he introduced it hears all these other phones of the time and look [TS]

00:18:11 ◼   ► what they've got they've got all these buttoned but here's the thing about all [TS]

00:18:14 ◼   ► these hardware buttons it reduces the amount of space you have now the screens [TS]

00:18:17 ◼   ► on this big and then number two a year from now we come up with this great idea [TS]

00:18:22 ◼   ► for a new feature we're stuck with the buttons we have already come up with a [TS]

00:18:26 ◼   ► year ago and that we've solved this problem [TS]

00:59:40 ◼   ► your devices where you deal with photos signed in and then all of your photos go [TS]

00:59:47 ◼   ► to through one cloud library and are therefore available on all your devices [TS]

01:35:16 ◼   ► he was sort of a couple times was right underneath him and he became senior vice [TS]

01:35:21 ◼   ► president of operations which is not exactly the same thing as chief [TS]

01:35:24 ◼   ► operating officer at sea level position that makes them a lot of sense [TS]

01:36:55 ◼   ► the needed a succession plan their idea is the last thing we're going to try to [TS]
