OpenAI Is Apparently Planning a Bunch of ChatGPT-Powered AI Devices
OpenAI's new brand io partners with Apple suppliers and has hired over 24 former Apple hardware experts to develop AI-native devices set for 2026-2027 release.
- OpenAI, in collaboration with Jony Ive's design company io, is developing a compact AI device planned for launch around the end of 2026 or the beginning of 2027.
- This hardware push follows OpenAI's acquisition of io Products and recruitment of over two dozen former Apple hardware engineers and designers this year.
- OpenAI has contracted Luxshare, a major Apple assembler, for large-scale device manufacturing and is also working with Goertek to supply speaker components.
- Luxshare will assemble at least one device, while OpenAI’s hires bring expertise from Apple’s wearables, cameras, audio, and user interface teams, strengthening hardware capability.
- This effort marks OpenAI's move into consumer hardware, aiming for AI-native devices that may transform interaction models beyond traditional smartphone assistants.
