Humane’s AI Pin Faces Slight Shipping Delay, Offers Subscription Incentive
Early Adopters to Receive Orders by Mid-April
Humane, the company behind the highly anticipated AI Pin, has announced a minor setback in its shipping timeline. While the device was initially slated to begin shipping in March, early adopters are now being informed that their orders will arrive no sooner than mid-April. This update was shared by Humane employee Sam Sheffer in a recent video and through emails sent to members of the company’s official Discord channel.
Three Months of Subscription Service Included
Despite the delay, Humane is offering a silver lining to its customers. The company will now include three months of its $24 monthly subscription service at no additional cost with the purchase of the $699 AI Pin. This offer extends to any customers who purchase the device before March 31st. The subscription covers various features, including cellular data for the pin, which comes equipped with its own phone number rather than relying entirely on a connected smartphone.
Free Shipping and Anticipation Builds
In addition to the complimentary subscription, Sheffer also announced that the AI Pin now comes with free shipping. As the release date draws nearer, curiosity and anticipation surrounding the device continue to grow. While some remain skeptical about the AI Pin’s promise of a screenless future, or even the partially-screened vision of the Rabbit R1, the proof will soon be revealed. As one observer put it:
I, for one, am eager to see if it’s got velvety custard inside.
With the AI Pin on the horizon, the world will soon have the opportunity to experience Humane’s vision for the future of mobile computing firsthand.

In a twist of fate, it seems delays can actually be rewarding, who knew
Seems like patience might just pay off with more freebies on the table, interesting strategy by Humane.
A setback for some, a boon for others; the extended trial is a silver lining in the launch delay saga.
Marble: It’s not every day you see a delay leading to potentially happier users, kind of an unconventional win.
Sometimes, a delay is just what users need to really test the waters, could be a blessing in disguise for early adopters.
