The hardware push is built around Jony Ive's design team, acquired via the multibillion-dollar io startup deal. Beyond a rumored screen-free smart speaker, OpenAI is reportedly developing a phone with Qualcomm and MediaTek, targeting hundreds of millions of shipments annually. Brockman dismissed Apple's trade-secret lawsuit — stemming from former Apple engineers joining OpenAI — as a nuisance, stating the company has 'no interest in other companies' trade secrets.' The broader ambition is to replace the smartphone as the primary computing interface, putting OpenAI in direct competition with Apple, Meta, Amazon, and Google in the AI hardware race. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

Yes, OpenAI president Greg Brockman confirmed the company is building 'a family of devices,' not just one gadget, saying they are coming 'soon' without giving a specific date. This follows OpenAI's acquisition of Jony Ive's hardware startup io, and reports that OpenAI is also developing a phone with Qualcomm and MediaTek. _Developers tracking where AI-native hardware is headed can follow OpenAI's device plans on daily.dev._ ### What is Apple's lawsuit against OpenAI about? Apple is suing OpenAI alleging that former Apple staff who joined OpenAI's hardware team carried trade secrets with them, a case tied to OpenAI's acquisition of Jony Ive's startup io, which absorbed former Apple engineers. Brockman responded that OpenAI has 'no interest in other companies' trade secrets' and intends to keep fighting the case rather than settle. _Anyone weighing the legal risk of AI hardware bets can follow the Apple-OpenAI dispute on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [OpenAI bets big on audio as Silicon Valley declares war on screens](https://daily.dev/posts/openai-bets-big-on-audio-as-silicon-valley-declares-war-on-screens-15auuxka6) · TechCrunch · 1 upvotes · 1 comments - [Jony Ive and Sam Altman say they finally have an AI hardware prototype](https://daily.dev/posts/jony-ive-and-sam-altman-say-they-finally-have-an-ai-hardware-prototype-xzbfquxta) · The Verge · 3 upvotes · 0 comments - [OpenAI developing AI agent smartphone with Qualcomm and MediaTek, targeting 300-400M annual shipments by 2028](https://daily.dev/posts/openai-developing-ai-agent-smartphone-with-qualcomm-and-mediatek-targeting-300-400m-annual-shipment-qksdilim4) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#apple](https://daily.dev/tags/apple), [#openai](https://daily.dev/tags/openai), [#chatgpt](https://daily.dev/tags/chatgpt), [#gpu](https://daily.dev/tags/gpu), [#voice-ai](https://daily.dev/tags/voice-ai) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/openai-is-building-a-family-of-devices-greg-brockman-confirms-f2lc61x4t) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"OpenAI is building ‘a family of devices,’ Greg Brockman confirms","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/openai-is-building-a-family-of-devices-greg-brockman-confirms-f2lc61x4t","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/openai-is-building-a-family-of-devices-greg-brockman-confirms-f2lc61x4t"},"datePublished":"2026-07-30T11:07:26.406Z","dateModified":"2026-09-13T21:07:14.595Z","description":"OpenAI president Greg Brockman confirmed the company is building a 'family of devices' centered on voice interaction, with products arriving 'soon.'
