US EditionOpenAI & Jony Ive's AI necklace rumored to have iPod shuffle form factor
- OpenAI and Jony Ive announced in May 2025 they are developing a neck-worn AI device similar in size to an iPod Shuffle, expected in 2027 mass production.
- This device follows OpenAI's acquisition of Ive’s hardware startup io for $6.5 billion to combine Ive’s design with OpenAI's AI technology.
- The device lacks a built-in screen and relies on microphones and cameras to sense its surroundings, while outsourcing processing power and visual display to connected smartphones and computers.
- OpenAI CEO Sam Altman revealed plans to distribute 100 million AI companion devices, calling it potentially the company's most significant achievement to date.
- The project marks OpenAI's major move into physical AI, positioning the device as a third core object alongside iPhones and MacBooks while avoiding Chinese assembly to reduce risks.
