A Bloomberg report suggests incoming Apple CEO John Ternus plans a major design shake-up to revive bold, Ive-era aesthetics, but early remarks indicate a continued emphasis on design and continuity rather than a radical overhaul as Apple transitions from the Cook era.
Bloomberg’s Power On says Apple’s design influence could regain prominence under new CEO John Ternus, who has been engaging with the industrial design group to reverse the Cook-era shift after Jony Ive’s departure; with no senior design role today, Ternus aims to restore design authority as he prepares to take the helm, including shaping next‑gen products like a foldable iPhone and highlighting milestones such as the MacBook Neo.
Ferrari's first electric model, the Luce, is a five-door, five-seat crossover with a four-motor setup, designed to maximize interior space and efficiency. Its standout feature is a two-tone exterior that visually separates the passenger cell from the shell, a look developed by LoveFrom (Jony Ive) and Mark Newson. The interior aims for coherence with the exterior and emphasizes aerodynamics, while the car carries a steep price around €550,000 (~$640,000) and has sparked mixed reactions.
Ferrari unveils its first fully electric car, the Luce, a $640,000 four‑door sedan designed with Jony Ive’s LoveFrom that fans compare to an iPhone, prompting memes and a debate over whether the brand’s legacy can translate to EVs. Ferrari marketing frames it as a bridge between San Francisco and Maranello, but investors have pushed the stock down about 8% amid broader EV headwinds and subsidy cuts.
Ferrari’s first electric car, the four‑door Luce designed with Jony Ive’s LoveFrom studio, is stirring debate by departing from Ferrari’s traditional look. Its center‑opening doors, minimalist shell, Samsung OLED cockpit screens, and emphasis on tactile controls aim to combine luxury with performance (0–60 mph in about 2.5 seconds) but critics compare its Apple‑influenced lineage to a generic look, raising questions about Ferrari’s identity. Priced around $640,000 and pitched as a statement of exclusivity in EVs, the Luce’s reception ranges from admiration to skepticism, with social media drawing parallels to controversial Apple‑related design moves and even Jaguar’s Type 00 rebrand. The piece also notes LoveFrom’s broader work and Ive’s rumored AI hardware project with OpenAI, underscoring the broader debate about design direction and branding in high‑end electrics.
Ferrari's Luce, designed by Jony Ive, will use Samsung OLED displays across three zones: a two-layer binnacle (12" bottom, 12.9" top with three circular holes) featuring Samsung’s Hole In Active Area tech, a 10.1" central control panel with three protruding hands, and 6.3" rear panels. The stacked, three-dimensional cockpit blends hardware and software seamlessly, with a price around €550,000 and design cues rooted in Ive’s LoveFrom collaboration.
Ferrari unveils its first fully electric car, the Luce, a 1,035-horsepower five-seater with a 330-mile range, 0–60 mph in 2.5 seconds and a top speed near 200 mph. Designed with LoveFrom (Jony Ive and Marc Newson), it features a glass-and-aluminum look reminiscent of Apple products. Preorders begin in Italy by the end of May, with US deliveries planned for next spring; price is 550,000 euros (~$640,000). The reveal arrives as luxury automakers reassess EV timelines, and online reaction is polarized, praising the design from some and criticizing it from others; Ferrari’s stock briefly dipped after the announcement.
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.
