Apple Visionary Jony Ive Joins Forces with OpenAI in Landmark $6.5 Billion Deal

Jony Ive, the legendary designer behind Apple's groundbreaking products, is teaming up with OpenAI in a transformative $6.5 billion acquisition.


In a game-changing announcement, Sir Jony Ive, the celebrated British designer renowned for his work on iMac, iPod, iPhone, and iPad, is making waves by joining OpenAI through a significant acquisition of his startup, io. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, expressed his enthusiasm, labeling Ive as "the greatest designer in the world," emphasizing their shared vision for a new era of AI-integrated technology.

Sir Jony, who left Apple in 2019, will bring his exceptional design acumen to OpenAI, where he aims to help reshape the future of computing. His aspirations for a new generation of devices are underscored by Altman's confidence in their collaborative potential. While previous hardware attempts have faltered, both believe they are ready to revolutionize the industry. The first prototypes from this partnership have already made a striking impression on Altman, who describes them as the most exciting technology yet to be unveiled.

Jony Ive, recognized for igniting Apple's resurgence, leaves behind a notable legacy reflected in shares dipping post-announcement. His previous venture LoveFrom has collaborated with OpenAI for two years, leading to the establishment of io, with an aim to create distinctive AI-powered hardware technologies, stepping away from the limitations of existing industry giants.

Meanwhile, industry analysts view the move favorably, suggesting that it's ill-advised to underestimate Ive's capacity for disruption in technology. As OpenAI looks to forge a direct bond with consumers, the partnership signals a bold step into hardware amid a backdrop of heightened competition among tech behemoths vying for AI advancements.

Jony Ive’s collaborative journey with OpenAI promises to be a thrilling chapter in technology innovation, as the global tech landscape holds its breath for the unveiling of what comes next.
