Imagine AI at your fingertips like never before. Beware, iPhones, a new device is coming this year that might change everything. OpenAI has caused a whole lot of curiosity with tantalising clues about its first-ever hardware device, rumoured to debut in the second half of 2026.
Now, the company behind ChatGPT has remained very tight-lipped on specifics, but executives have given just enough clues to imply that this is not a normal gadget launch. Collaborating with the former chief design officer of Apple, whose work includes the iPhone and iPod, OpenAI is getting into consumer hardware in a trial to extend the reach of its generative AI beyond screens and usual computing devices.
