KCBS Bloomberg Tech and Business Report · OpenAI's ambitions impeded by Apple lawsuit · 13 Jul 2026 podcast

But in the meantime, um there are a few things.

One, um our colleagues at Bloomberg Intelligence um said that it's quite possible

that OpenAI will have to um isolate the pieces of um intellectual property that are in dispute here.

Um if that were the case, that could certainly slow down the company's um development of its hardware.

Um in our story um that's out today we talk about the possibility, um the possible chilling effect of future poaching of Apple employees um who may feel nervous about

um going to the company with all of this going on.

Um and also possibly the idea that um common suppliers, hardware suppliers, could feel stuck in the middle and could um feel um some sense they need to choose Apple to preserve that relationship.

So of course it's there's um been around four hundred or more um so far.

So it's hard to sort of pathologize every single worker who has left.

But one um thing that that is broadly true is that

Um, open AI has been luring them with fabulously big pay packages in a lot of cases.

Um and that has prompted Apple to respond by um implementing higher retention bonuses on its own side.

Um and that's been a common theme throughout the AI races, um, poaching races throughout the industry.

Apple employees have left not just for OpenAI, but other places like um like Meta as well, which also has made a name for offering these really just hugely extravagant pay packages to people.

So um that's been sort of the name of the game and and certainly um has something to expla uh it's certainly part of the explanation for this exodus of of people.

So it's a very mysterious project, but um what we know is that

Um the companies at least explored certain categories like um smart speakers, wearables, and that ultimately it has just broadly speaking a vision.

pr um producing some hardware that is um essentially represents a future of hardware post iPhone.
