Ive went off to make some calls, and André described his own routine: he tends to arrive at five or six in the morning, and often then designs geometrically complex objects that he asks the machinists to mill. He called it a hobby, but, as Akana explained, “We’ll have a meeting about a speaker-hole pattern, or something, and Jony will say, ‘Bart, can you get your box of patterns?’ ”

The split, sliding front center armrest allows row-one occupants to individually adjust each half of the armrest to their liking, and concealed underneath it is a cubby with a cupholder and additional storage space. Another cupholder is located under a flush-fitting cover next to the rotary transmission controller.

The luggage compartment delivers 34.4 cu ft of space behind row two. The 40:20:40 row-two seat features a ski-hatch enabling long items to be through-loaded, and with the rear seats folded flat, the Velar provides up to 70.1 cu ft of room from a load space measuring 70.7-in long by 49.1-in wide. Available remote release levers are located in the luggage compartment to make lowering the rear seats even more convenient.

The master for the shell mold is also designed and manufactured using CAD/CAM. Each mold must be custom made for each helmet design and shell size.

"This $5.85 million estate for sale in Sugar Land is frequently compared to a castle, and not for nothing—the three-acre property boasts decidedly castle-like features, not limited to expansive and park-like grounds, courtyards (with stone balustrades), a circular two-story library, another two-story opera room (with a balcony), travertine marble floors in the chef’s kitchen, a wine cellar, a reception hall with a domed ceiling, and—wait for it—an observation deck for views of adjoining Alkire Lake."

Assuming the worst, Ive had a resignation letter in his pocket. Indeed, Jobs’s initial instinct had been to hire a new designer. He had approached Richard Sapper, who designed I.B.M.’s ThinkPad—a black cigar box. (Sapper was tempted, he told me, a little ruefully, but didn’t want to abandon his I.B.M. contract for a “tiny, tiny company.”) Jobs had also met with Hartmut Esslinger, who, as a consultant, was Apple’s industrial designer in the eighties. Esslinger, in an e-mail, recalled telling Jobs that Apple’s existing team, including Ive, “was very talented and competent if given the right leadership.” Esslinger, who has more design-guru swagger than Ive, also takes some credit for what happened next: he said that he encouraged Jobs to refocus the company on “evolving digital-consumer trends.”

Ive places the new watch in a history of milestone Apple products that were made possible by novel input devices: Mac and mouse; iPod and click wheel; iPhone and multitouch. A ridged knob on the watch’s right side—the Digital Crown—took its form, and its name, from traditional watchmaking. The watch was always expected to include a new technology that had long been in development at Apple: a touchscreen that sensed how hard a finger was pressing it. (A press and a tap could then have different meanings, like a click and a double-click.) But the Digital Crown, a device for zooming that compensated for the difficulty of pinching or spreading fingers on a tiny screen, was ordered up by the studio. In a reverse of “skinning,” Ive asked Apple’s engineers to make it. In time, the crown’s role grew to include scrolling through lists. Ive was delighted with its versatility, but the sight of one of his colleagues scrolling with a rigid finger—a Doughboy poke—made me wonder if a more natural watch-winding gesture will cause large thumbs to flop, accidentally, onto the touchscreen.

Available in textures and colors that replicate the beauty of black cherry, walnut or tropical macore — as well as a sunny amber tone — all Canvas Series components feature the easy workability, stability and weather-resistance of Versatex premium PVC exterior trim.

Asked how, with such a bleak outlook in September, did the staff come together to get to this point, general manager Robin Roberts said the bonds between the staff and the community made it possible.

I consider myself a pro at installing glass screen protectors, priding myself on making sure the screen is completely clean before gently laying the protector on. Yes, it’s stupid, but I personally can’t stand if the screen protector has even the teensiest bit of dust or if it’s misaligned by half a degree. As a result, I was pretty proud of myself when I nailed the installation the first time. But while I was installing it, I noticed that only the edges had adhesive, much like (crappy) glass screen protectors I’d experienced in the past with phones like the Galaxy S7 edge and Galaxy S8+. I decided to give the ZAGG a shot anyway.

When Ive took control of Human Interface, in 2012, his immediate task was reforming the iOS. Jobs had liked digital facsimiles of analog designs; reportedly, the stitched leather in Apple’s desktop calendar quoted the interior of his Gulfstream. Ive’s view was that such effects were appropriate for the iPhone’s launch, when “we were very nervous—we were concerned how people would make a transition from touching physical buttons that moved, that made a noise . . . to glass that didn’t move.” But, he went on, “It’s terribly important that you constantly question the assumptions you’ve made.” (The bulbous iMac, a design with a similar desire to put people at ease, was replaced after three and a half years, and looked dated before then.) Ive was also itching to smooth the corners of iPhone app icons. “They drove me crazy,” he said. “All I could see were these unresolved tangency breaks.”
