Apple Trade Secrets Lawsuit Threatens to Delay OpenAI Hardware Launch to February 2027
Apple filed a trade-secrets lawsuit against OpenAI that threatens to disrupt the company's planned launch of its first hardware device, reportedly a camera-equipped smart speaker, on Feb. 27, 2027. The complaint details allegations that OpenAI and former Apple employees solicited confidential designs and manufacturing methods to speed up development of the unannounced product.
The lawsuit seeks restrictions covering disputed designs, manufacturing methods, suppliers, and future product work. OpenAI told Bloomberg it has no interest in other companies' trade secrets and remains focused on building innovative technology.
