OpenAI's Sam Altman and Jony Ive are developing a new hardware device, expected to launch in less than two years. The prototype is rumored to be screen-free and smartphone-sized, focusing on simplicity and usability.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced the completion of the first hardware prototypes, developed in partnership with Jony Ive's startup. The devices aim to provide a calmer user experience compared to smartphones, with intelligent features that prioritize important notifications. Rivals like Amazon and Google have struggled in this space, making OpenAI's upcoming launch particularly significant.
OpenAI's first hardware device designed by Jony Ive will now ship in February 2027 due to a trademark lawsuit filed by audio startup iyO. The device, described as a pocket-sized, screen-free gadget, aims to be a "third core device" and will not use the name 'io' for branding. Rumors of a Super Bowl ad unveiling the product have been debunked.
OpenAI is set to unveil its first hardware device in late 2026, as announced by policy chief Chris Lehane. Jony Ive's design team at OpenAI has also expanded with the hire of Apple veteran Janum Trivedi, known for his work on iPadOS features.
