Summary
Paul Meade, Apple’s vice president overseeing Vision Pro and smart glasses, is set to leave by next week and then start at OpenAI’s hardware unit.
OpenAI hired Meade to work on its upcoming family of AI-powered devices, according to people familiar with the move.
The departure removes a senior leader from Apple’s mixed-reality and wearables efforts while extending a run of high-profile defections to AI and hardware rivals.
The move underscores intensifying competition for executives who can bridge consumer hardware and artificial intelligence as companies race to build new device categories.
