"We still don't know what OpenAI's mysterious hardware device is - but now we have a better idea of when we might get our hands on it. The company just revealed it doesn't expect to ship the product it's building with legendary Apple designer Jony Ive before February 2027. The admission came in a Monday court filing by OpenAI amid a dispute with the startup Iyo, which sued OpenAI last year over the "io" trademark."
"The previously known timeline for the OpenAI device, shared by the company's chief global affairs officer at Davos last month, was a product reveal in the second half of 2026. The Monday filing contained a sworn statement from Peter Welinder, the vice president and general manager at OpenAI, stating that the company expects its "first hardware device will not ship to customers before the end of February 2027.""
OpenAI expects its first hardware device will not ship to customers before the end of February 2027. The device is being developed with designer Jony Ive after OpenAI agreed to acquire his company io Products in a deal valued at nearly $6.5 billion. A trademark dispute with startup Iyo led to a temporary restraining order preventing use of the 'io' name, and OpenAI removed references to the partnership from its website. OpenAI has reevaluated product branding and says it will not use the 'io' name for its hardware. Earlier expectations targeted a reveal in late 2026, but shipping is delayed into 2027.
