Paul Meade, the Apple vice president who oversaw the Vision Pro headset and reportedly led development of the company’s upcoming AI-powered smart glasses, is leaving the company to join OpenAI’s hardware team, according to a report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. Meade’s exit comes as John Ternus prepares to assume the role of Apple CEO, a transition that has already triggered a reorganization of the hardware engineering division, with several vice presidents feeling sidelined. The Vision Pro struggled to gain widespread consumer traction due to its high price point and limited use cases. OpenAI has been quietly building a hardware team, led by former Apple chief design officer Jony Ive, and its CEO Sam Altman has described the upcoming device as more peaceful and calm than an iPhone.
