‘ can share the same studio,’ Ive told Wallpaper* in 2017. The team before us now very much reflect the realisation of the two men’s aspirations for a bespoke Apple building. Ive was intensely involved with the building’s design (as was Steve Jobs during the project’s early stages). Outwardly, the iPhone embodies meticulous minimalism: tap the surface and myriad worlds are revealed, just like at Apple Park.
Seventeen years after Ive created the first iPhone prototype, the latest generation iPhone 13 hasn’t lost any of the magical tactility and sensory delight of its forebears. It’s the same with the device in your pocket. From the natural ventilation systems to the multilayered glazing, from the bespoke door handles to the 9,000 carefully specified trees, every single facet of this multibillion-dollar structure has been subjected to the kind of scrutiny most designers can only dream of. However, it is a 260,000 sq m machine of massive complexity. From a distance, all is sleek and seamless, with barely a hint of what lies beneath the quarter-kilometre-long façade.
