OpenAI Poised to Unveil Pocket-Sized AI Earwear Aiming at AirPods Rivalry
OpenAI says it is on track to reveal its first AI device in the second half of 2026, designed by Jony Ive's oi Products. Leaks describe a pocket-sized, screen-free behind-the-ear wearable codenamed 'Sweetpea' with a custom 2nm chip and possibly manufactured by Foxconn, potentially overlapping with AirPods in function. The timing is not confirmed, but Lehane indicated a late-2026 release is possible amid ongoing speculation about OpenAI's hardware ambitions.
