OpenAI just bought out former Apple designer Jony Ive's hardware company for a massive 6.5 billion dollars. The tech giant wants to move beyond computer programs and start making actual gadgets that people can hold. Sam Altman and Ive announced the deal through a letter sent out on Wednesday. The purchase brings Ive's startup called io Products under OpenAI's control. Apple fans remember Ive as the genius behind the sleek iPhone and iPad designs.

The acquisition puts Ive in charge of creating beautiful looking AI devices for everyday consumers. His design company LoveFrom stays independent while the io Products team joins OpenAI completely. Former Apple designers will help shape the hardware while OpenAI handles the smart computer brain parts. The partnership combines two major forces in the technology world. Ive brings his talent for making products look amazing and work perfectly.

Tech insiders expect the first device to be small enough to fit in your pocket rather than something you wear. The gadget will understand what users need better than current technology does. People will interact with their devices in completely new ways according to the companies. The collaboration between OpenAI and Ive started back in May but became official recently. Both sides seem excited about changing how humans use artificial intelligence in their daily lives.
