If you haven’t been living under a rock, you would have heard about the departure of Apple’s design genius Jony Ive from the company last week. Ive is leaving Apple to start his own design firm, which will count the Cupertino giant as its first client. This is sudden for everyone and has sparked a ton of controversy around the reason for Ive’s departure. However, a great result of the same is that Tim Cook stepped in to deny all controversy and tease a bit about Apple’s upcoming projects.

Cook’s statement serves as a rebuttal to media reports that have tried to taint Apple’s leadership and paint the company in a bad light over Ive’s sudden departure. Well, we could only wait and watch for what the Cupertino giant has in store, especially with the next hardware event soon approaching.
