The manager of Apple's Vision Pro and smart glasses business will resign and join OpenAI.

Apple's executive in charge of the development of the Vision Pro headset and its smart glasses business is about to jump ship to OpenAI. Recently, top talents in the artificial intelligence and hardware industries have been continuously flowing to rival companies, and this departure is just another high-profile executive leaving event. Several informed sources revealed that Vice President Paul Mead will leave Apple next week and then join OpenAI's hardware department. The sources, who requested anonymity due to personnel changes that have not yet been publicly announced, said that Mead will lead the development of OpenAI's new generation of AI intelligent hardware products. Mead's departure is a major blow to the iPhone manufacturer. For seven years, he has been in charge of Apple's Vision Pro headset hardware engineering team, which was seen as Apple's next-generation core computing platform. Both Apple and OpenAI spokespersons refused to comment on the matter.
