Paul Meade, the Apple vice president in charge of the Vision Pro headset, is leaving the company to join OpenAI’s hardware team, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Meade also reportedly led the development of the AI-powered smart glasses that Apple plans to launch next year<\/a>. The costly Vision Pro was not a hit, but Apple is hoping that more affordable smart glasses will help it compete with wearable devices from Meta<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Gurman frames this departure as a byproduct of John Ternus’ imminent elevation to Apple CEO<\/a>, and of Ternus’ decision to shake up the hardware engineering team, which left some of the company’s vice presidents feeling like they’d been demoted. <\/p>\n

OpenAI, meanwhile, is already working with Apple’s former chief design officer Jony Ive on an AI device that CEO Sam Altman has claimed will be more peaceful and calm than an iPhone<\/a>, though reports last fall suggested the company was struggling to get the details right<\/a>. <\/p>\n
