OpenAI’s new phone being fast-tracked to launch next year, per report

Ming-Chi Kuo says OpenAI is fast-tracking its first AI-focused phone.

The device may use a customized MediaTek chip, possibly based on the Dimensity 9600.

Mass production is now targeted for the first half of 2027, with a fall launch possible if development stays on track.

The move suggests OpenAI could be entering consumer hardware and competing more directly with Apple.
