When Jony Ive and Sam Altman teased their upcoming AI hardware device, we noted how mysterious they were being about its form factor. While some were suggesting that it was a wearable, I said I felt pretty sure it wasn’t, and that’s now been confirmed by a court filing. A 9to5Mac reader last month made a plausible suggestion, and the latest development seems to me to add weight to the idea … What we knew before the court filing Both Ive and Altman had long made it clear their device wasn’t a

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-09-01 05:27:12

As OpenAI fights a trademark lawsuit over its now-scrubbed “io” brand, new public court filings are giving us the most detailed glimpse yet into what Sam Altman and Jony Ive’s hardware team have been up to behind the scenes. ‘Not an in-ear device, nor a wearable device’ As reported by The Verge and Bloomberg yesterday, the legal battle stems from a case brought by iyO, a Google-backed startup that argues the “io” branding from OpenAI’s newly formed io Products, Inc., is too close for comfort.
