Ferrari revealed Luce, its first fully electric car, a four-door, five-seat flagship developed with designer Jony Ive and LoveFrom, priced at €550,000 ($640,000). The Luce packs four motors for over 1,000 hp, a top speed above 310 kph, a range over 500 km, and a luxury interior, with deliveries due in Q4 2026 as Ferrari targets broader markets such as China while maintaining its high-end image.
Ferrari has unveiled its first electric vehicle, the Luce, designed in collaboration with Jony Ive and Mark Newson’s LoveFrom. LoveFrom was allowed to define the design direction from the outset, inside and out, with a minimalist exterior and a highly buttoned interior. The four-motor, 1,035-horsepower EV is Ferrari’s second four-door model and five-seat car; pricing starts at €550,000 in Italy, with no US price announced yet.
Ferrari unveils the Luce, its first fully electric hypercar, delivering over 1,000 hp from four motors, a 122 kWh battery with up to 350 kW charging, 329+ miles of range, a 2.5-second 0–62 mph time, and a 192 mph top speed. Designed with LoveFrom under Jony Ive and Marc Newson, it features a glass-heavy exterior and Apple-inspired cabin. Production starts late 2026 at roughly $640,000, with Ferrari signaling it’s a new design direction rather than a pivot from combustion as it pursues a 2030 mix of EV/hybrid/ICE sales.
Ferrari unveils the Luce, its first full car designed with Jony Ive’s LoveFrom, a luxury EV in SUV-like form with 1,035 hp from four motors, four-wheel steering, and a 122‑kWh pack delivering about 329 miles WLTP; interior and some software are still in pre-production, and pricing starts at €550,000 in Italy with US pricing to be announced.
OpenAI is reportedly collaborating with former Apple designer Jony Ive on three AI-driven devices: a smart speaker with a camera and microphone priced around $200–$300, plus a smart lamp and AR smart glasses. The devices are pitched as potential successors to the smartphone, with launch targets not expected until 2027–2028, but the details come from a report and remain speculative.
OpenAI is collaborating with former Apple designer Jony Ive on its first hardware product—a smart speaker with an integrated camera and facial-recognition to tailor usage and enable purchases—slated for a 2027 launch at about $200–$300. The company is also exploring a smart lamp and AI glasses for 2028+, but those devices are in early development and could be canceled; internal design tensions and secrecy around LoveFrom’s concepts are noted as OpenAI engineers work to turn prototypes into a finalized product.
OpenAI is reportedly plotting an AI-powered smart speaker with a built-in facial-recognition camera, designed by Jony Ive and expected to cost about $200–$300; a launch could slip to 2027 at the earliest, and the device may use facial recognition for sign-in or purchases, raising privacy concerns amid a broader push into AI hardware.
OpenAI is reportedly developing AI-powered consumer devices, with a camera-equipped smart speaker set for early 2027 and priced around $200–$300. The project, led by ex-Apple designer Jony Ive after OpenAI’s io Products acquisition, may also include smart glasses (2028) and a smart lamp, though privacy, power, and manufacturing challenges have caused delays.
Ferrari previews the Luce, its first all-electric supercar, with an interior designed by Jony Ive and Marc Newson’s LoveFrom. The cabin features a three-display cockpit (an instrument cluster that moves with the steering wheel, a central display on a ball‑and‑socket joint, and a rear control panel), a palm-rest interface, a rotating central screen, and a mechanical multigraph display; materials include anodized aluminum and Corning glass, plus an E Ink key fob. The exterior will debut in May 2026, and Ive notes the five-year secretive collaboration and the heavy safety regulations of auto design.
Ferrari revealed the Luce’s interior, its first fully electric car, designed by Jony Ive’s LoveFrom, featuring glass and brushed aluminum surfaces, tactile aluminum buttons, a movable iPad‑like cockpit display, a glass gear shifter, and Gorilla Glass components. Exterior details will be shown in May, and the name has shifted from Elettrica to Luce to emphasize Ferrari DNA and a driver‑focused, tactile experience.
Ferrari previews the Luce EV interior designed by Jony Ive and Marc Newson’s LoveFrom, featuring a retro-futuristic cockpit built around a large OLED gauge cluster and a swiveling center screen. The cabin emphasizes metal and glass, tactile controls, and a restrained Apple-like aesthetic, signaling a bold shift for Ferrari’s design language. Critics praise the depth and craftsmanship of the display while noting a sparse center console and a synthetic “fake” torque-shift via paddle shifters as potential drawbacks, making it a high-risk, high-reward move for the brand.
OpenAI says it is on track to reveal its first AI device in the second half of 2026, designed by Jony Ive's oi Products. Leaks describe a pocket-sized, screen-free behind-the-ear wearable codenamed 'Sweetpea' with a custom 2nm chip and possibly manufactured by Foxconn, potentially overlapping with AirPods in function. The timing is not confirmed, but Lehane indicated a late-2026 release is possible amid ongoing speculation about OpenAI's hardware ambitions.
Rumors say OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and former Apple designer Jony Ive are collaborating on a new AI gadget codenamed 'Sweetpea'—a pair of behind-the-ear earpieces designed to replace AirPods and powered by a ChatGPT-enabled voice assistant. Leaks suggest a standalone device with a 2nm chip, built to pair with phones, with manufacturing lined up via Foxconn and a projected release around 2028; details remain unconfirmed.
Jony Ive, the legendary Apple designer, is working with OpenAI to develop 15-20 AI-first devices aimed at improving our relationship with technology by reducing anxiety and fostering joy, contrasting with the exclusivity of brands like Apple, and addressing issues like concentration and mental health associated with smartphones.
A secretive AI hardware device designed by Jony Ive for OpenAI has been delayed due to challenges in computing power, privacy concerns, and developing a suitable personality, with the company exploring multiple innovative form factors and product ideas for release next year.
