We all know that OpenAI is working on some hardware products, and Apple’s former design chief Jony Ive is said to be leading that department. But now there is news floating on the internet saying the AI giant’s ambitious hardware project is facing hurdles. According to the latest report from the Financial Times, Sam Altman and Jony Ive’s vision for a sleek, screenless AI device is facing serious technical and design roadblocks.
The two teamed up earlier this year after OpenAI acquired io, Ive’s design startup, for a massive $6.5 billion. Sam Altman had said the move would help OpenAI “create a new generation of AI-powered computers,” and early reports pointed to a 2026 launch window.
