Apple's Jonathan Ive Considering Moving Back to England?
The Sunday Times reports that Apple designer Jonathan Ive and the Apple's
board of directors are said to be at
an impasse about his future. The British designer is said to want to spend
more time in the UK while Apple's
board seems unwilling to allow that. The report comes by way of The Daily
Mail and Cult of Mac as the original
article appears to behind a paywall.
Ive has reportedly been tied to Apple for the past three years based on a "
golden handcuffs" deal from 2008.
That deal is reportedly due now and will net the designer ￡18 million. The
completion of this deal seemed to
open these negotiations with even the possibility of his leaving the company
. Ive reportedly has proposed to
commute from Somerset, but Apple's board seems unwilling.
Quote:
A friend of the family told The Sunday Times: 'Unfortunately he is just too
valuable to Apple and they told him
in no uncertain terms that if he headed back to England he would not be able
to sustain his position with
them.'
Jonathan Ive has long been credited for being the principle designer for
many of Apple's iconic products. Ive
joined Apple in 1992 and has been responsible for the design of the unibody
MacBook Pro, iPod, iPhone and
iPad. His name was even thrown around as a possible successor to Steve Jobs
in 2007.
