OpenAI's First Device with Jony Ive Reportedly Won't Be a Phone or a Wearable
- OpenAI acquired Jony Ive's AI device startup io in May 2025 to develop a new AI-powered hardware division.
- This acquisition followed OpenAI's ambition to create AI devices that reduce reliance on screens and integrate AI deeply into daily life.
- The first device is expected to launch late next year, will not be a phone or wearable, and may lack a display to remain unobtrusive.
- OpenAI plans to move quicker than any previous company in delivering 100 million units of its new product, with CEO Sam Altman describing it as the most significant endeavor the company has ever undertaken.
- If successful, this product could redefine user interaction with AI, but it remains uncertain if Ive’s design combined with OpenAI’s technology will achieve mass market adoption.
