‘One of a kind’: Google CEO Sundar Pichai praises former Apple designer Jony Ive
Google CEO Sundar Pichai recently appeared on the “Decoder” podcast where he praised former Apple designer Jony Ive. During the conversation, the podcast host asked Pichai about OpenAI’s nearly $6.5 billion deal to acquire Jony Ive’s secretive startup, IO, and work with his design firm, LoveFrom, on new hardware. To this, the Google CEO replied “Stepping back, Jony Ive is one of a kind”.
Last week, OpenAI announced that it will buy io, the AI device startup founded by former Apple executive Jony Ive, in an all-equity deal valued at approximately $6.5 billion.
