Meta hires Apple design chief Alan Dye to build next‑generation AI devices

Meta has hired longtime Apple design leader Alan Dye, who led the design of Apple’s operating systems and the controversial new 'Liquid Glass' interface, to work on hardware for the coming 'AI era.' Together with fellow Apple designer Billy Sorrentino, Dye will help Meta develop new AI‑centric devices, such as camera‑equipped smart glasses, as the company races rivals including Apple, Google and OpenAI (which is working with former Apple designer Jony Ive) to define post‑smartphone hardware.
