Daily Mail Profiles Jonathan Ive, Says Recent Rumours Are False

The Daily Mail has published a profile on Apple design guru Jonathan Ive and his rise to near-mythical status.

He is worth hundreds of millions of pounds to the company, which is itself currently valued at a staggering £200 billion. The last decade has belonged to him: his designs for the Californian company have revolutionised everything from music and television to mobile phones and hand-held computers.
