Jony Ive and Sam Altman have just announced a device made by their company, IO, is in process. Now we have even more information about the mysterious product, and it is rumored that it looks like an iPod Shuffle.
According to the privileged information of the industry and the famous Ming-Chi-Kuo fleeting, the current openai chatgpt hardware prototype “is slightly larger than the AI pin, with a factor in a compact and elegant way as an iPod Shuffle.”
Kuo revealed multiple new ideas about the product in X, detailing that IO’s product is expected to enter mass production at the beginning of 2027.
Kuo says that while design and specifications can change before the device enters mass production, it is expected that “have cameras and microphones for environmental detection, without visualization functionality.”
Not only is the device expected to be seen as an iPod Shuffle that can be used around your neck, but also “it is expected to connect to smartphones and PC, using its computer and visualization capabilities.”
This information gives us a much deeper vision of what the IO product is really, after the acquisition of the company of $ 6.5 billion OpenAi.

While this gives us more indications about what to expect, there is still a long time before the first product of Io enters mass production and that could mean important changes during the next year.
Kuo says: “The AI integrated into real world applications, often called” physical the ia “, is widely recognized as the next critical tendency”, and although it is possible that we still do not understand the need for these products, in two years all could interact with chatgpt and other AI models in a completely new way.
