In 2024, Apple and OpenAI got married in a shotgun wedding on stage at WWDC. Tim Cook put ChatGPT inside the iPhone while Sam Altman watched from the audience.
They were the unambiguously gay duo, and together they thought they could rebrand artificial intelligence to Apple intelligence with a marketing campaign so effective it inspired me to buy an Android phone. But it only took 2 years for these two companies to become mortal enemies. Last Friday, Apple filed a
41-page lawsuit calling OpenAI's hardware business rotten to its core. With bombshell allegations of trade secret theft, behind the scenes Scam Altman was doing what Scam Altman does best, is scamming, allegedly. What Apple failed to realize is that he doesn't just want to do business with Apple, he
wants to eat the apple. In today's video, we'll take a look at OpenAI's hardware strategy and the craziest claims in this lawsuit. It is July 17th, 2026, and you're watching The Code Report. Apple is terrified of OpenAI.
OpenAI has already poached over 400 Apple employees, but more importantly, OpenAI has plans to get into the hardware game. Not long ago, they bought Jony Ive's stealth startup IO for $6.5 billion. That's over $3 billion per lowercase letter. Jony Ive spent about 30 years at Apple and worked closely
with Steve Jobs to create the visual language for the iPhone, iMac, iPod, and so on. But now he's working with Sam on a device that wants to make your iPhone obsolete. And no official details have been released, but we just got a leak a few days ago, and apparently this futuristic device is a mobile
screen-free home smart speaker. A quote, OpenAI believes the product's defining feature will be its personality and ability to connect on a human-like level with users. The speaker incorporates mechanical elements that can move on their own, creating a sense that it's alive and not just an object responding
to commands. You heard that right. It sounds like they're basically just building an Alexa smart speaker with that voice they stole from Scarlett Johansson in the Jony Ive design language. But I highly doubt that's going to be a be a product because I've watched every single Husk IRL video.
>> Tell me a fun fact about Mike. Hogg is that he and Tony grew up surfing together. >> But Apple doesn't think OpenAI is playing fair when it comes to their hardware strategy, which brings us to last Friday when Apple filed the divorce papers accusing OpenAI of trade secret theft at every level. The lawsuit names
OpenAI IO and two ex-Apple employees including Tang Tan, OpenAI's hardware chief, and former Apple vice president.
The lawsuit claims that Tan told Apple engineers interviewing at OpenAI to bring {quote} actual parts for show and tell. Most interviews like this just have you invert binary tree, but at OpenAI they want you to show up with stolen prototypes. But it gets better because Apple says OpenAI also
circulated a cheat sheet teaching recruits how to dodge the dreaded walkout. You know, where security escorts you out the door the moment you resign. And that's important to OpenAI because it would allow you an extra two weeks to work at Apple and steal confidential data from them. But now
