Can’t Apple’s design guru catch a break? After Jony Ive received a well-deserved promotion to become Apple’s chief design officer, some pundits misinterpreted the happy news as a bad omen.

Our own Leander Kahney reads the tea leaves completely differently: Ive’s promotion is nothing but good news for Apple.

In fact, elevating Ive’s status on the corporate totem pole means Apple will get even more great design work out of him. You can expect even more delightful, world-changing products from the guy who’s always emphasized technology’s most human elements.

Find out why this is definitely not the end of the Jony Ive era at Apple, in this week’s edition of Kahney’s Korner.
