- iPhone
It seems so obvious now, but the iPhone could
have gone horribly wrong. It was expensive, tied
to a single carrier, and relied on touch rather than
the standard stylus. But what made the iPhone
so iconic was its design. The chrome sides, the
do-it-all home button, the giant screen, the lack
of a physical keyboard. The iPhone’s success was
due in large part to its design, and no one but Jony
Ive could make such a gamble seem so effortless. I
mean, it’s the iPhone – what more needs to be said? - iMac G4
Apple faced a monumental task with the follow-up
to the iconic iMac G3, and boy did Jony Ive deliver.
A floating screen attached to a chrome arm and a
dome base, the iMac G4 was truly a jaw-dropping,
show-stopping, drop-dead gorgeous marvel.
