Whether you really care or not is not driven by how many of the products you’re going to make.” quote by Jonathan Ive](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e0f/jonathan-ive-3015_care_i-think-it-s-a-wonderful-view-that-care_2833730.jpg) [Download](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e0f/jonathan-ive-3015_care_i-think-it-s-a-wonderful-view-that-care_2833730.jpg) [Open image](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e0f/jonathan-ive-3015_care_i-think-it-s-a-wonderful-view-that-care_2833730.jpg) > “I think it’s a wonderful view that care was important – but I think you can make a one-off and not care and you can make a million of something and care.
