OpenAI Delays Consumer Hardware Launch To 2027

OpenAI has delayed its first consumer hardware device to 2027, sources including 9to5Mac report, pushing back from an earlier 2026 target. The company, which acquired Jony Ive’s io Products in 2025, is refining hardware design, custom silicon and on-device model integration while dropping the 'io' branding amid trademark issues. The move gives more time to mature models and address supply-chain and UX challenges.
