Altman has stated that the acquisition of Jony Ive's company could add $1 trillion to the value of his AI company.

OpenAI plans to make AI-powered hardware devices that will be powerful and intelligent and designed by Ive's team at the company.

OpenAI’s first AI device, designed by Jony Ive, will begin mass production in 2027. With no screen and a compact iPod Shuffle-like form, it promises to redefine human-AI interaction.
