He left in 2019 and formed his own company, that did design work for Apple until 2022.

He "took" several Apple employees with him when he left and there's been a steady stream of Apple employees going to OpenAI.

Ive isn’t responsible for all of them obviously, but the articles about lawsuits says there are 400 former Apple employees at OpenAI.
