Shownotes

OpenAI's phone, led by iPhone architect Jony Ive, is set to launch in 2027-2028. With a goal of shipping 40 to 50 million units, we explore the implications of an AI-first operating system that redefines user interaction.
We compare OpenAI's consumer-focused strategy to Anthropic's enterprise approach, discuss the challenges of competing with Apple, and ponder the hurdles for user adoption.
