Ive, Apple’s Chief Design Officer, is leaving the company. He leaves a legacy that made its products hard to repair and impossible to upgrade.
I wonder what the outcome would be if the design process started with sustainability and developed from there? I like Jason Kottke’s measured approach to this change.

Aaron, That would be wonderful, but Iβd guess not good for Apple, or many other tech companies in the short term.
I knee-jerking a response here, Iβve used macs since my first computer in 1995.
Macs have been more sustainable for me than PCs for most folk I know. I donβt get a new one often and they have lasted me a long time.
I dislike the barriers to geekiness that are developing everywhere, both in hardware and, of more import to me, software. It seems harder to play around in an amateur way. Security stops scripts from less professional folk from working. Web APIs move out of reach or are shut down. (I exempt Flickrand OpenSteetMaps). Iβd like to see more sustainability there too. Probably not going to. Like this:Like Loading…
