Summary
Apple is suing OpenAI, accusing two former employees of stealing trade secrets to help OpenAI enter the consumer hardware market. One allegedly hacked Apple’s network to download sensitive files, while the other allegedly encouraged staff to bring Apple parts to OpenAI interviews. With over 400 former Apple employees now at OpenAI, Apple claims this isn’t surprising—but the alleged supplier espionage and timing around OpenAI’s $6B hardware startup acquisition make it alarming. Despite their existing partnership—integrating Apple Intelligence and offering ChatGPT via Siri—the lawsuit adds major friction to their relationship as AI competition intensifies.
