Several sources note that the first device from OpenAI’s collaboration with Jony Ive isn’t intended to be another smartphone at all. Instead, it appears designed to deliver a new kind of computing experience—one that “moves consumers beyond screens” by emphasizing natural, ambient interaction and voice‐based interfaces rather than a traditional display [1][3][5]. In fact, Sam Altman mentioned in one announcement that he’d been “able to live with” a prototype of what he described as “the coolest piece of technology that the world will have ever seen” [1][15]. The idea is to create what some call the “iPhone of AI,” yet this new device is aimed at being less socially disruptive than today’s smartphones, hinting at a form factor that may be wearable or seamlessly integrated into the environment [10][14]. Though details remain sparse and the exact form is still under wraps, the prevailing expectation is that the first product will inaugurate a family of devices built around more intuitive, screen-free interactions rather than trying to immediately replace the smartphone [1][10].
