I don’t particularly see the connection between Ive, OpenAI, and a new phone but are you maybe just looking for something like a PinePhone?

I don’t use one but I have followed the company for some time due to their low cost laptops that run Linux (PineBook, PineBook Pro).

Edit: oh, I see. I automatically assumed the device referenced in the article would be something like those smart home speakers that one can talk to.
