With the iPhone, design supremo Jonathan Ive and his team have continued
the lineage that began with the jellybean-inspired iMac and developed a

to transform technophobes into gadget aficionados by designing
functional, simple and unique products. In a market where superficial
feature overload is all too often confused for innovation, Apple has
again proved that it ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it.
