What in the world are Jony Ive and Sam Altman building?

Summary
After Sam Altman revealed that OpenAI would be purchasing Jony Ive’s AI hardware start-up, speculation about what exactly the company is working on has increased.
Reports suggest it will be a “screen-free” gadget that will sit “between your phone and laptop”, with the logic being that a phone is too small and a laptop too big.
It will be part of a “family” of devices that are “screenless”, according to Altman, who also said it was “one of the coolest pieces of technology he’s ever seen”.
It is unclear when the device will be released, but it is speculated that it will not be until late 2026 or 2027.
This allows Ive and Altman to stir interest and hype for their product, while also throwing rivals off their game, as it forces consumers to question if smart glasses are really the best method for AI.
