According to media reports, the executive in charge of the Apple Vision Pro related business, Meade, will leave the apple for OpenAI. This change in personnel coincides with the apples push a new generation of wearable equipment and gives the market renewed attention to its AI hardware layout.
He was in the Apple Smart Glass Project.
It was reported that Meade had also dominated the development of the Apple AI smart glasses. This product is said to be scheduled for launch next year. Previously, the higher-priced Vision Pro market had fallen short of expectations, and apples were looking for cheaper smart glasses to open the market for wearable equipment.
Apple is also seen as a response to Meta. Prices, wear experience and AI functionality are becoming the focus of competition for users by several large technology companies, as the competition for smart glasses and head-on equipment increases.
Apple Hardware Team or Fitting
According to journalist Purman, the departure was related to the internal apple management adjustment. It describes it as one of the collateral effects of John Tenus's possible further advancement.
According to this statement, Tenus is pushing for a restructuring of the hardware engineering team, which has led some vice-presidents to feel their responsibilities are being weakened and there are fluctuations within the team.
