This reply suggests that Apple isn't simply suing; it's deploying a killer strategy against OpenAI's hardware device project, aiming to prevent the product from ever hitting the market.

The post emphasizes that the lawsuit's focus isn't just about "stolen notebooks or cloud files," but rather Apple's attempt to sever OpenAI's path to hardware deployment. The author also points out that OpenAI's hardware lead, Tang Tan, worked at Apple for 24 years and possesses deep knowledge of their supply chains, internal codenames, and manufacturing processes, giving this dispute clear industrial competition undertones.
