Well it’s official now. With iOS 7 now out of the bag, Jony Ive’s title at Apple has recently been changed to reflect his added responsibilities and increased influence across Apple’s product line. Whereas he used bear the title of Senior Vice President of Industrial Design (as recently as June 9), he now holds a more comprehensive title — Senior Vice President of Design.
Ive originally made a name for himself as the man behind Apple’s gorgeous and often innovative hardware designs. With the October ouster of Scott Forstall, however, Ive began applying his design aesthetic to Apple’s software as well, an aesthetic which first became apparent last week when Apple unveiled a complete revamp of iOS.
