This guy invented the ipod and most of what Apple has released to great success decades before. Apples owes this man. The world owes this man.

it was Jonathan Ive VP of design at Apple, who designed the iPod, the iMac and many other Apple products. Dieter Rams, features in this movie, was the Head of Design at Braun in Germany.
