Golden Finance reported that in April this year, there were rumors that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was collaborating with former Apple design chief Jony Ive to design AI hardware for individuals, and they were seeking external investment. Ive himself confirmed this on September 21st. The report mentioned that the new company could raise $1 billion in funding by the end of this year. The project currently has only 10 employees, including two key figures who worked with Ive on the iPhone. As for the product itself, there were rumors last year that it was inspired by touchscreen technology and the original iPhone, but this has not been confirmed.
