OpenAI Could Launch Its First AI Agent Smartphone in 2027
- OpenAI is fast-tracking development of its first "AI agent phone" for mass production in the first half of 2027, according to industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, aiming to strengthen its market position.
- Following the acquisition of Jony Ive's startup in May 2025, OpenAI pivoted from a screenless "third core device" concept that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called the "coolest piece of technology that the world will have ever seen."

- Kuo projects combined 2027-2028 shipments reaching around 30 million units, positioning OpenAI as a direct hardware rival to Apple and its AirPods, with Luxshare Precision Industry and Qualcomm as primary partners.
- Revised production targets reflect OpenAI's broader IPO goals and intensifying agent phone competition, shifting from previous roadmaps that had pushed timelines to "less than two years" late last month.
