Jony Ive: I refuse to speculate on how Steve Jobs would react to this Ferrari. For a decade, the tech world waited for an Apple Car that never arrived. Instead, its spiritual successor just rolled out of Maranello. Jony Ive designed the interior of Ferrari's first electric vehicle, the...

Jordan Golson has a great read on 5-year partnership between LoveFrom and Ferrari for its first EV: ▫️It began in 2021 and before Jony Ive or Marc Newson “drew a single line, they spent six months on research.” ▫️Research led to 4 hardcover books, that were “substantial, rigorous volumes printed in both Italian and English, left page and right page, covering philosophy, design history, the cultural significance of Ferrari within Italy, the relationship between human attention and physical interaction." ▫️In an incredible coincidence, Benedetto Vigna became Ferrari’s CEO in 2021 (he is a physicist who invented the "three-axis accelerometer that ended up inside the iPhone"). ▫️LoveFrom has spent past 2.5 years manufacturing components for the car’s interior (including 40+ custom glass pieces in collaboration with Corning, which Steve Jobs had convinced to commercialize Gorilla Glass for the first iPhone). ▫️Ive felt too many new cars has taken the minimalist iPhone touchscreen to the interiors and wanted to find a way to blend tactile knobs with digital. ▫️One of the most striking things from Ferrari Luce’s launch video is the Ferrari key fob that goes next to the stick shift and lights up the car. ▫️Ive wanted the key fob to create "theatre" with how the vehicle turned on (as Golson notes, "Electric cars fundamentally lack the ritual of starting up. There’s no engine turning over, no rumble settling into an idle, no mechanical systems awakening. The Luce’s key ceremony isn’t trying to fake that — it’s creating a new version of it, native to what this car is.") ▫️The end product we saw last week “barely at all” changed from the proposal in those original 4 books (Ferrari will unveil full exterior in May). It's not clear how much Ferrari is paying for the partnership but previous NYT reporting said top-tier clients at LoveFrom (team of 60 including tons of ex-Apple designers, UX, software folk) spend up to $200m a year. *** Full Golson read here:

In 1997, a developer publicly humiliated Steve Jobs in front of a packed room. Jobs had just returned to Apple after 11 years away. Instead of fighting back, he admitted the guy was partly right — then explained the principle he believed could turn Apple into an $8–10 billion-a-year business. And his answer had almost nothing to do with technology. Most companies, Jobs explained, work backwards. They build something technically impressive, fall in love with what they created, and only then ask how they are going to sell it. He had made that mistake himself so many times that he said he had the “scar tissue” to prove it. His rule was the opposite: start with the customer experience and work backwards to the technology. Jobs used the LaserWriter as an example. Inside the printer were a Canon laser engine, an Apple-designed controller, Adobe PostScript and AppleTalk. It was an extraordinary piece of engineering, but none of that was the reason he believed people would buy it. When the first page came out, Jobs looked at it and realized they didn't need to explain what was inside the machine. They could simply hold up the result and ask one question: Do you want this? That was the entire point. Customers don't pay you for how difficult your product was to build. They pay for what it does for them. A developer tried to expose what Steve Jobs didn't know about technology. Jobs responded by explaining something far more valuable about business.
