OpenAI's Ive-led Device: A New AI Hardware Rival

OpenAIs Jony Ive-led team is developing a pocket-sized, screenless device for 2026, potentially rivaling the iPhone and advancing AI goals. Despite excitement, Oura CEO Tom Hale is skeptical about its mass appeal, comparing it to smart speakers like Alexa. The wearables market is competitive, with Apple Watch, Whoop, Samsung, and Garmin vying for health data dominance. OpenAIs CFO confirmed the hardware is on track, despite a recent project delay to focus on ChatGPT. As AI hardware advances, companies like Oura are betting on smart integrations with phones rather than standalone devices, keeping the innovation race open.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
