Jony Ive’s first OpenAI gadget is reportedly a hockey puck-sized smart speaker

The AI device OpenAI is developing with former Apple designer Jony Ive is “essentially a smart speaker without a display” that’s battery-powered, doughnut-shaped and roughly the size of a hockey puck, according to Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman. The device, expected to launch in 2027 for a price over $300, reportedly “will have a unique look, complete with moving parts,” including some that will move on their own to show when the device is responding or interacting with the user, along with lights, a camera system, and other sensors.
