I might be overthinking this, but I noticed something interesting while revisiting the Essential website.
There’s a section mentioning “AI-Native Devices – H2 2026”, described as pairing software experiences with new use-case specific device shapes.
That wording caught my attention, especially with how the industry is currently talking about AI-native experiences.
I’m not implying anything here — just sharing this out of curiosity because it made me wonder: what are they cooking?
Curious to hear what you all think about the idea of AI-native devices and where things might be heading in the next few years.
