In court filings submitted this month, leaders from io — the consumer hardware team OpenAI recently acquired from Jony Ive’s design studio for $6.5 billion — testified that the first device they plan to release won’t be an “in-ear device” or a “wearable.” They also say the AI device won’t ship until “at least” 2026.

OpenAI has removed all mentions of Jony Ive's startup "io" from its website and social media pages. The scrub follows a court order prompted by a trademark complaint from iyO, a hearing device startup that graduated from Alphabet’s X moonshot lab.

Marketing materials and video related to a blockbuster partnership between former Apple Inc. designer Jony Ive and OpenAI Inc. were removed from the web due to a trademark dispute.
