Apple\u2019s iPhone and Watch design chief is leaving the company to work with Jony Ive, the man who led Apple\u2019s design decisions until 2019 and who was key in creating the look of some of its most iconic products.<\/p>\n
Tang Tan, who joined Apple a decade ago, is heading to the LoveFrom, the design firm set up by Ive after departing the tech giant four years ago, according to Apple tipster and Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman.<\/p>\n
Citing people familiar with the matter, Gurman said that Tan will lead hardware engineering for a new project set up by Ive and Sam Altman, the AI visionary who co-founded and now heads ChatGPT creator OpenAI.<\/p>\n
The Ive\/Altman-led venture made headlines in September, with the pair reported at the time to be in talks about creating a product dubbed \u201cthe iPhone of artificial intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n
There\u2019s been no public announcement about the ambitious-sounding endeavor, but the news of Tan\u2019s reported move to LoveFrom to help with the venture suggests that it\u2019s still very much moving forward.<\/p>\n
According to Gurman, Tan will \u201cshape the look and capabilities of the new products,\u201d but he added that the first products \u2014 apparently for the home \u2014 remain at an early development stage, with the current focus on building a team that will create concepts.<\/p>\n
Gurman notes how Tan\u2019s exit marks a further disintegration of the design team that Ive built at Apple, with more than a dozen members having left since Ive\u2019s departure and only about six remaining in post. It\u2019s reported that more than 20 personnel have moved from Apple to Ive\u2019s LoveFrom.<\/p>\n
With a team in place and Ive joining forces with Altman, 2024 will hopefully be the year in which the endeavor drops some big news about its ambitions or even reveals its first product. Other firms are already showcasing phone-replacement devices with AI at their core, so Ive and his crew won\u2019t want to leave it too long before unveiling something themselves.<\/p>\n
As for who will take over from Tan at Apple, reports suggest that rather than bringing in a replacement, his duties have been divided up among existing personnel.<\/p>\n
