๐ OpenAI's First Gadget: A $400 Donut-Shaped AI Speaker Co-Designed by Jony Ive
New details emerged this week about OpenAI's debut hardware: a donut-shaped, hockey-puck-sized screenless smart speaker priced between $300 and $400, co-designed by Jony Ive's LoveFrom studio. It features moving parts, a camera, and environmental sensors โ and learns user habits over time. Expected to ship in 2027, OpenAI sees it as the first step toward a broader hardware ecosystem that could eventually challenge smartphones. Would you pay $400 for an AI speaker with no screen?
