Ive was named the head of Apple’s design team in 1996. In 1998, he designed the first iMac, followed by the iPod in 2001. This started the turnaround the company needed and has since put the company on the map.

Here are some of the landmark Apple products he designed:

  • iPod Mini 2004
  • iPhone 2007
  • MacBook Air 2008
  • iPad 2010
  • Apple Watch 2015
  • AirPods 2016

Jony Ive’s latest project was the design of Apple Park, Apple’s new corporate headquarters. The modern office complex was designed with British architect firm Foster + Partners.

Apart from Steve Jobs, Ive was one of the people responsible for making Apple what it is today.
