- Ive and Altman announced their company, IO, was purchased by Openai yesterday
- The two entrepreneurs are working to create the next generation of AI -hardware
- A new report claims the device will look like an iPod mix and can be carried around your neck, like a necklace
Jony Ive and Sam Altman just announced an AI device made by their company, IO, is in the works. Now we have got even more info on the mysterious product and it was frightened to look like an iPod mixture.
According to Industry Insider and the famous Leaker Ming-Chi-Kuo, the current Openai Chatgpt-hardware prototype “is slightly larger than AI-PIN, with a form factor as compact and elegant as an iPod shuffle.”
KUO revealed several new insights into the product of X and detailed that iOS product is expected to enter mass production at the beginning of 2027.
KUO says that while designs and specifications can change before the device enters mass production, it is expected to “have cameras and microphones for environmental detection without display functionality.”
The device is not only expected to look like an iPod mixture that can be worn around your neck, but it is also expected to “connect to smartphones and PCs using their computer and display features.”
This information gives us a much deeper insight into what the IO product is actually, after Openais acquiring $ 6.5 billion acquisition of the business.
In the message video, Ive spoke famous for designing the first iPhone, and Altman, Openai’s CEO, for nine minutes at a café without really giving information about what the product is, except it is “an extraordinary moment” and that whatever the couple is working, will completely revolutionize the way we interact with artificial intelligence.

So … it’s basically an AI -Pin
After reading Kuo’s report, it is now clearer than ever that this upcoming product will essentially be a better version of Humane AI -Pin. Essentially, it is chatgpt in a small product you can throw in your pocket or carry around your neck.
While this gives us further indication of what we can expect, it is still a long time before iO’s first product enters mass production, and that could mean major changes in the next year.
Kuo says, “AI integrated into applications in the real world, often called” Physical AI “, is widely recognized as the next critical trend,” and although we may not understand the necessity of these products yet, in two years everyone may be able to interact with chatgpt and other AI models in a whole new way.
