Everyone expected a phone, but OpenAI's first device is a ChatGPT-powered speaker that moves

Everyone braced for an OpenAI phone—maybe even a pendant or a pen. Instead, the ChatGPT maker's first hardware device is a portable, screenless smart speaker that physically moves to feel "alive," per Bloomberg. It's the first of roughly five devices planned, so those other form factors could still come. Running on ChatGPT, it learns your habits and acts before you ask—but Apple's trade-secret lawsuit clouds the 2027 launch.
