The Briton credited with the designing some of Apple's most revolutionary products -- the iPod, iPhone, iPad and iMac computer -- was knighted by Princess Anne Wednesday.
Jonathan Ive, Apple's senior vice president of industrial design, was made a Knight Commander, Order of the British Empire (KBE) in a ceremony at Buckingham Palace.
