New yorker jony ive3/23/2023 After Gurman reached out to Alexander for comment, the change was reverted, and his website was deleted. I was executive assistant to Jonathan Ive - his calendar, travel, media inquiries, correspondence, reservations, contractors, security philanthropy,e vents, expenses, and large-scale personal projects.Īccording to Gurman, this means that Ive no longer has a single person directly reporting to him. The news that Alexander no longer works for Ive, which came by way of an update to his LinkedIn profile on July 1, adds more evidence to this. It sounds an awful lot like Ive is divulging his responsibilities ahead of an eventual exit. It's difficult to help manage a company as complex as Apple when you're frequently on the road - much less if you're living on another continent to every other executive. And 9to5Mac editor Seth Weintraub pointed out Ive almost left Apple entirely to move home in 2011, until they paid him more to stay on. As well as giving Ive more space for "blue sky thinking," the reorganisation will also let the design chief "travel more," according to Fry.Īt the time of the news, Apple blogger John Gruber suggested Ive might return to live in England. The news of Ive's "promotion" first came via a highly-positive piece in the Telegraph written by the actor Steve Fry. There's another - and potentially more plausible - explanation: Ive is nearing the end of his time at Apple.

We may be nearing the end of the Jony Ive-era
