More details are trickling out about Jony Ive and Sam Altman’s new AI device. In a post on Thursday, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says his research indicates that the device could be larger than Humane’s AI pin, but with a “form factor as compact and elegant as an iPod Shuffle.”
Jony Ive’s AI gadget rumored to be ‘slightly larger’ than Humane’s AI pin
Supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is mostly known for Apple rumors, and now says users might be able to wear OpenAI’s future device around their neck.
Emma Roth is a news writer who covers the streaming wars, consumer tech, crypto, social media, and much more. Previously, she was a writer and editor at MUO.
Kuo adds that “one of the intended use cases” is wearing the device around your neck. It also may not come with a display, Kuo says, featuring just built-in cameras and microphones for “environmental detection.” The device could also connect to smartphones and PCs to use their computing and display capabilities.
This latest leak aligns with a report from The Wall Street Journal, which says the device will be aware of a user’s life and surroundings, but probably won’t be a pair of glasses. On Wednesday, Altman revealed that OpenAI is buying Ive’s AI hardware company, io, for $6.5 billion, which will “take over design for all of OpenAI, including its software.” Ive and Altman are aiming to launch their first devices in 2026.
