In May 2025, a significant partnership was forged with OpenAI, which acquired Ive’s AI device startup ‘io’ for $6.5 billion, signaling a major venture into next-generation AI-powered computers. Further solidifying his influence in the cultural landscape, Ive was appointed a trustee of the British Museum in June 2025.
