CBE Commander of the British Empire.

Queen Elizabeth II has inserted Johnathan Ive in the New Year Honours list of Great Britain.

… He is widely seen as one of the key figures in Apple’s resurrection.

Mr Ive started working for Apple in 1992 but exerted a big influence on its products only in 1997 when Steve Jobs returned to the company he co-founded. Mr Ive’s first design for Apple, the iMac, was hugely influential and has been followed by a series of other widely admired gadgets.
