🤖 Jony Ive is working on an AI hardware project with OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman

Jony’s Return: The Future of Hardware?

Former Apple design chief Jony Ive and OpenAI’s Sam Altman are collaborating on a groundbreaking AI hardware project, with a reported goal of raising $1 billion in funding by year’s end.

The New York Times reports that the aim is to create "a computing experience that is less socially disruptive than the iPhone," with a team of 10, including ex-Apple executives, focused on making AI more intuitive.

This project reimagines tech from the ground up, rather than layering AI onto existing platforms. Altman’s dual role—developing this potential competing platform while negotiating a ChatGPT partnership with Apple—adds to the intrigue.

Meanwhile, Meta is preparing to launch its AR-powered Orion glasses, adding even more competition to the race for the future of platform innovation.
