On May 22, Beijing time, OpenAI announced the acquisition of io Products, a hardware startup founded by Jonathan Ive, Apple's former Chief Design Officer, for approximately $6.5 billion. This bold move by OpenAI is widely seen as a strategic effort to broaden its reach and make its AI products accessible to a wider audience. Ive will spearhead the design of a suite of innovative AI hardware products, bringing his Apple expertise to OpenAI on a full-time basis. The CNBC in the United States suggests that this partnership between Ive and OpenAI could signal a shift in Apple's dominant position within the hardware industry. OpenAI anticipates unveiling the fruits of this newly acquired hardware team in the coming year.
