Jony Ive's stealth AI hardware startup, IO, was sold to OpenAI for an estimated $6.5 billion, marking a significant shift in tech development. This acquisition has generated hype and skepticism regarding its potential impact on Apple's products, with predictions of a groundbreaking AI device set to launch in late 2026. Much remains undisclosed about the device, with descriptions hinting it's pocket-sized and screenless, departing from conventional smart tech designs. Ive's involvement will continue through his design company, LoveFrom, exclusively partnering with OpenAI.
We're told the first IO device will launch in late 2026, but what will that look like?
Altman has said the device is something totally new and "not a pair of smart glasses".
