Jony Ive: The Genius Behind Apple's Greatest Products (2013) is journalist Leander Kahney's biography of Sir Jonathan Ive, the British industrial designer who shaped the look of modern Apple. Drawing on interviews with colleagues and collaborators, Kahney traces Ive's path from art school in England to Apple's design studio in Cupertino, where his partnership with Steve Jobs produced the iMac, iPod, iPhone, and iPad, products that redefined consumer technology and made Ive one of the most influential designers of his generation. Kahney, a longtime Apple journalist and the editor of Cult of Mac, offers a rare look inside the secretive design team responsible for some of the most recognizable objects of the twenty-first century.
