In an interview with The New York Times, Ive details plans for a device that is ‘less socially disruptive than the iPhone.’ Will it fare better than the Humane Ai Pin and Rabbit R1?
Apple’s former chief design officer is working with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman on AI hardware.
Jony Ive confirmed the partnership in an interview with The New York Times, which describes the device as an AI “computing experience that is less socially disruptive than the iPhone.” He was otherwise light on details, including a timeline for release.
Rumors of the project date back to September 2023, when The Financial Times first reported on efforts to raise $1 billion for the device. It could be OpenAI’s splashiest consumer product since ChatGPT, though two similar-sounding projects have launched and crashed.
