The Design Museum in London has pretty much everything Jony Ive ever designed in their permanent collection.
They certainly are art in this context.*
And I'd argue that Apple are one of the few tech companies that genuinely view their products as art objects, as well as being boxes of mass-produced consumer technology.
* There's a wider question about whether the mere act of displaying something in a gallery makes it art, but its one that many fine art postgrads haven't been able to get to the bottom of yet :)
