OpenAI Rushes AI Agent Phone for 2027

OpenAI appears to be fast-tracking its first AI agent phone, with mass production targeted as early as the first half of 2027, according to TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The accelerated timeline may be driven by a desire to support a year-end IPO narrative, Kuo suggested. The development signals OpenAI's ambitions to expand beyond software into consumer hardware devices.
