Foreign media: Former Apple design director confirms that he is developing new devices with OpenAI, and iPhone veterans join

According to foreign media reports, in April this year, there was news that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman joined hands with former Apple design director Jony Ive to jointly design AI hardware for individuals and is currently seeking external investment. Ive himself confirmed this on September 21. The report mentioned that by the end of this year, the new company may raise $1 billion in funds. It is worth noting that the project is funded by Emerson Collective, the company of Laurene Powell Jobs (Jobs' widow). It is revealed that although the starting team of the new device project is small, with only 10 employees, it includes two key figures who developed the iPhone with Ive-Tang Tan and Evans Hankey. As for the specific form and function of the product itself, although there are rumors in the market that it is inspired by touch screen technology and the first generation iPhone, this news has not been officially confirmed.
