OpenAI targets 2027 for AI agent phone launch, challenging iPhone

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

OpenAI is reportedly accelerating its plans to launch an AI agent phone by the first half of 2027. This device would diverge from traditional app-centric operating systems by running persistent AI agents that can perform multi-step tasks in the background. The phone is expected to feature a custom MediaTek chip with a dual-NPU setup for simultaneous vision and language processing, and analysts project shipments of around 30 million units between 2027 and 2028.

IMPACT Could signal a shift towards agent-first operating systems, potentially disrupting the current app-centric mobile market.
