No ty,(reply>), Stevens doesn’t take a year to design 4-5 products and I’m not saying there was not also disagreements,(reply>), @OfficialDamp Right.  He was a company officer.  The Chief Design Executive.  Now he is merely a contractor.<br><br>I assure you, he no longer calls the shots when it comes to design choices.  Maybe they pay him to give his opinion and make recommendations on Apple's in-house designs, but now Cook and company can do what they want and easily ignore him.<br><br>Or do you think the prior MacBook Pros, with their butterfly keyboards which were used to make them 0.5 mm thinner, being the last MacBook Pros designed under Ive as CDO and the new MacBook Pro, thicker and heavier, but with the largest battery allowed by the FAA on flights and returning to the "thicker" scissor switch keyboard in a Mac designed AFTER Ive had left is just a coincidence?,(reply>), @OfficialDamp he doesn't get utilized on apple really? he designed iphone 6, apple watch, newer mac and that ugly mac pro that just launched. also why you made thing up? have you read article when he quit from apple? it's crystal clear because there's disagreement/conflict between his view in design with "other" employee
