Altman and Ive team up on screenless AI phone

Sam Altman started a new company called io Products back in 2023. Last fall, famous designer Jony Ive said he would help with this tech startup. People who know stuff say the OpenAI boss and the guy who made iPhones look cool want to build smart home gadgets that talk to you. A news story from The Information says rich people gave them money, but nobody knows how much cash they received.

A small group is working there right now to make a special phone without a screen that uses AI. Nobody has seen it because they just began making it. The news says I've brought in Tang Tan and Evans Hankey to help design these devices. Both of these people used to create iPhones at Apple for many years. I've run a design shop named LoveFrom that will decide how all io Products devices should look.

The story also mentions that OpenAI might buy the whole company for about $500 million. The big bosses at OpenAI need to decide if they want to spend that much money. The report says they could just work together instead of buying everything. This would let both companies stay separate but share their ideas about AI and hardware.

We have no exact details about what these devices will do or when people can buy them. The secret phone project sounds very new, and they probably need lots more time before showing anything to the public. With these famous tech leaders working together, whatever they make will likely change how we use AI every day.
