Jony Ive's AI gadget rumored to be ‘slightly larger' than Humane's AI pin
More details are trickling out about Jony Ive and Sam Altman's new AI device. In a post on Thursday, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says his research indicates that the device could be larger than Humane's AI pin, but with a 'form factor as compact and elegant as an iPod Shuffle.' Kuo adds that 'one of the intended use cases' is wearing the device around your neck. It also may not come with a display, Kuo says, featuring just built-in cameras and microphones for 'environmental detection.' The device could also connect to smartphones and PCs to use their computing and display capabilities. This latest leak aligns with a report from The Wall Street Journal, which says the device will be aware of a user's life and surroundings, but probably won't be a pair of glasses. On Wednesday, Altman revealed that OpenAI is buying Ive's AI hardware company, io, for $6.5 billion, which will 'take over design for all of OpenAI, including its software.' Ive and Altman are aiming to launch their first devices in 2026.
