What will it do to Jony Ive’s legacy if his OpenAI device is no more successful than Snapchat’s foray into hardware?

If OpenAI becomes an also-ran by the time the hardware is released, this seems like a real possibility no matter how well-designed it is.

Well, in my opinion his legacy is already pretty tarnished by his last few years at Apple, his Love From company, and his partnership with OpenAI. If he somehow knocks it out of the park with OpenAI (something I don’t think will happen nor do I want it to) then maybe he can redeem himself a little bit but, again IMHO, he is already about as low as he can go. Whatever respect I had left for him vanished after the OpenAI/IO announcement video.

Not sure what you mean. His legacy to date is ruining the iphone because he couldn’t think of anything to do beyond “thinner”.

Did he come up with the butterfly keyboard as well?
