Standout stories from the work include work on developing the Apple Watch as the company moved into luxury goods and high fashion, including a $25M tent that may have been the beginning of the end for Ive's time at Apple. It also examines the tension between Tim and Jony's philosophies of operations and cost over design and materials, Scott Forstall and Apple Maps, Jony's move to software design, Apple's fight with the FBI, Tim Cook's deft politics in China, and the U.S., services like Apple Music, why Apple bought Beats, and even Apple Car.
