About the book
Designed by Apple in California is a 2016 photo book with an introduction by Jonathan Ive, then the company's chief design officer, and pictures by Andrew Zuckerman. It collects 450 photographs of Apple products against plain white backdrops, covering two decades of design from the 1998 iMac G3 to the 2015 Apple Pencil, though not every product from those years appears. Alongside the images, the text looks at the materials and techniques the design team uses. Ive calls the volume an archive, and the book is dedicated to Steve Jobs.
