Is This The End Of Steve Jobs Era?
Jon Ive to leave Apple later this year
“After nearly 30 years and countless projects, I am most proud of the lasting work we have done to create a design team, process and culture at Apple that is without peer. Today it is stronger, more vibrant and more talented than at any point in Apple’s history,” said Ive. “The team will certainly thrive under the excellent leadership of Evans, Alan and Jeff, who have been among my closest collaborators. I have the utmost confidence in my designer colleagues at Apple, who remain my closest friends, and I look forward to working with them for many years to come.”
Throughout the time, two names in particular have been credited with driving Apple’s success, Steve Jobs and Jon Ive. Jobs returned to lead Apple in 1997, bringing along his right-hand man, Ive, who is known for minimalistic, sleek designs.
That partnership helped turn Apple from near bankruptcy into a behemoth of industry, even before Jobs passed away in 2011.
Ive's departure signals that he'll continue working with Apple for years to come. His new design firm will have Apple as a primary client. And not to worry, we will still Apple products on store shelves with Ive’s fingerprints all over even if he no longer has an Apple employee badge.

New Apple Series The Morning Show With Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston
The series has an all-star cast.
Although Apple lost Steve Jobs who was a master of the product announcement in his signature black turtleneck, it still got stage presence: Namely, Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg and other Hollywood celebrities who pitched Apple’s much anticipated video streaming service Monday in the theater named after the late Apple co-founder.
Apple’s Cupertino, Calif., campus today was something altogether different. Celebrities like J.J. Abrams, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston and Steve Carell walked onto Apple’s stage to present paid subscriptions for news, video games and an entertainment service.
Apple made it clear they are not a gadget maker. Weather it’s the music you listen to, the TV you watch or the news you read to the games you play Apple is here to stay.
As CEO Tim Cook put it, Apple is now about “services that deliver incredible content and experiences directly to you whenever and wherever you are.”
The announcement sent Apple’s stock sliding, from a market capitalization of more than $1 trillion (it was the first company ever to cross that milestone) down to below $700 billion earlier this year.
Apple also announced its much-anticipated reunion of Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, revealing the first footage from their new TV series Monday.
Actresses appeared at Apple’s special event to introduce The Morning Show as a series that would examine the people and politics of the morning news world.
“Through the prism of those under-slept, over-adrenalized people in front of and behind the camera, we take an honest look at the complex relationships between women and men in the workplace, and we engage in the conversation people are a little too afraid to have unless they’re behind closed doors,” Aniston said.
