OpenAI CEO Sam Altman revealed that he is a “super fan” of Apple, and he felt upset due to Apple’s lawsuit against OpenAI. In July this year, Apple accused OpenAI employees of taking or retaining confidential information when leaving the company, and of asking current employees about unpublicized products. Apple filed a 40-page complaint. Previously, the two companies had a close relationship; Altman announced that ChatGPT would be integrated into Apple products and in 2024 he collaborated with iPhone designer Jonny Ive to acquire his startup IO. Altman said that when he first heard about the lawsuit, he thought the situation was serious, but OpenAI denied any interest in trade secrets. In his early years, he owned Apple stock given by his grandmother and has often publicly expressed his love for Apple and admiration for Steve Jobs.
