Ive scores another design award for the iPhone

Apple's Senior VP of Industrial Design Jonthan Ive has won yet another design award, this time for the iPhone. The Mobile Data Association recognizes "those UK companies and individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to the uptake and success of mobile data over the last 12 months." Ive won the MDA Personal Achievement Award for the physical "design of the Apple IPhone and its user interface" which "sets the bar very high for all present and future competitors and as such, is shaking the mobile phone industry."

You've got to figure by this time Ive is using things like this as doorstops, but it is yet another (completely unsurprising and thoroughly deserved) testament to Apple's design leadership.

As a designer who works for a big company I know that Ive works hard, but I also know that the iPhone is not the result of Ive alone but the work of his whole extended team. It just seems strange then to give him a personal achievement award in such a manor.

Especially as they talk about the UI design which is probably not done by the Industrial Design team.
