Designer Jony Ive, best known for his work on everything from the iMac to the iPhone, wanted to quit Apple before Steve Jobs returned as CEO. Instead, he stuck around at the tech company for nearly three decades and revolutionized consumer electronics.

Here's everything we know so far about the mysterious upcoming AI device from the iPhone designer and creator of ChatGPT.

Did Sam Altman just figure out what AI's been missing? Or did he get locked into the very thinking he's spent his career avoiding?

Altman and Ive announced OpenAI’s acquisition of Ive’s io in a statement Wednesday, with the deal valued at roughly $6.5 billion after OpenAI acquired 23% of io in a partnership deal in 2024.

Jony Ive became renowned for a meticulous design aesthetic that shaped the cultural zeitgeist during a 27-year career at Apple, which he left in 2019.

OpenAI CEO is set to deliver 100 million AI "companions" built by ex-Apple legend aimed at revolutionizing how humans communicate with machines.

Sam Altman and Jony Ive aren’t just designing a new device. They’re inventing a new cognitive object built not for your hands, but for your mind.
