    Carl Pei Teases Apple After Former Designer Joins Tech Giant

    Carl Pei, co-founder and CEO of Nothing, recently responded lightheartedly to the news that Mladen M. Hoyss, the company’s former Software Creative Director, has joined Apple’s design team. Hoyss announced his new role on X (formerly Twitter), stating “New beginning @Apple” and updating his bio accordingly.

    Pei responded by quoting Hoyss’ post with a cheeky remark: “Congrats dude, proud of you! @tim_cook let me know if you need any more product help.” While humorous on the surface, many interpreted Pei’s comment as a smart branding gesture, positioning Nothing as a hub for world-class design talent that even Apple finds valuable. The comment also drew comparisons to historic tech rivalries in Silicon Valley.

    Hoyss played a crucial role in shaping Nothing OS, the company’s Android-based operating system praised for its clean and intuitive interface. His departure comes just before the anticipated July 2025 release of Nothing Phone (3), a flagship smartphone expected to build on the legacy of its predecessors with strong design and user experience—elements Hoyss helped define.
