A disruptive and epochal device, just as the first iPhone was 17 years ago. It is the smartphone based on artificial intelligence that sees the collaboration of Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI – the company that developed ChatGpt – and Jony Ive, former top designer at Apple. Rumors about the collaboration had been circulating for months, now it was Ive himself who confirmed the rumors.
OpenAi: first information on new smartphone
The project is top secret, but the New York Times has anticipated some details about the new smartphone: it will have an unprecedented computing experience thanks to the use of the latest generation artificial intelligence; shape and size will be those of modern mobile phones, the display will be touchscreen, but the epochal innovation will concern the actual use, which will focus on voice control, and no longer on keys and icons.

The device, mysterious at the moment, is being designed at LoveFrom, Ive’s company, with a team of 10 people working in a building purchased specifically to develop the technology of the future. According to what we learn, Tang Tan and Evans Hankey, two other ‘important’ designers with an important past at Apple, are also part of the project.
In recent months, some companies have tried to follow the trend of the wave of generative artificial intelligence with latest generation consumer technological devices. More significant examples are Human Ai Pin, a small accessory to attach to the jacket that transmits information to the palm of the hand or to a surface, and Rabbit R1, square in shape and with a small screen, powered by ChatGpt.
