OpenAI and Jony Ive Plan Family of AI Devices, Tapping Apple’s China Supply Chain
Sources say OpenAI and Jony Ive are planning a "family" of AI devices — the first resembling a screenless smart speaker — and have contracted Luxshare while courting Goertek. Prototypes reportedly include glasses, a digital voice recorder and a wearable pin, targeting late 2026/early 2027. OpenAI is tapping Apple’s China supply chain and hiring former Apple hardware staff, spurring concerns about defections.
