According to Bloomberg, OpenAI's first consumer hardware product, a "donut-shaped" smart speaker designed by Jony Ive, the father of the iPhone, is planned for official release in 2027, priced between $300 and $400. The device features built-in cameras and sensors, capable of learning user habits and engaging in human-like interactions. OpenAI views this as a crucial step into the hardware market, ultimately aiming to replace smartphones. However, Apple has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI for trade secret infringement and applied for an injunction this week, which could directly disrupt the new product launch. OpenAI denies any infringement and has filed a motion to dismiss Apple's lawsuit.
