When he sees designs from Apple in the products of other companies he isn't very flattered.</p> <!--break--> <p>The official Twitter account for Vanity Fair tweeted some choice quotes from Jony Ive. Here are some of our favorites:</p>

<p>I think a beautiful product that doesn't work very well is ugly</p> <p>I don't see it as flattery, I see it as theft, and it's lazy. - on Xiaomi's copy-cat phone</p> <p>There were a thousand reasons, and many occasions, where we nearly gave up" on touch</p>

<p>Hit up the Vanity Fair Twitter stream to see some more. There should be video shortly posted online of Jony Ive. We'll share it when it does go live.</p> <p>Source: @VanityFair (https://twitter.com/VanityFair)</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-27591"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3f4de5c6/sc/4/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
