The iPhone is the most used device and, of course, the one that put Apple on the radar, catapulting the company to the center of the technological scenario back in 2007. It was the hit of luck necessary for the company that directed Steve Jobs At that time it became one of the most influential and profitable in the world.
However, every day has more competition in an overpopulated technological sector that turns towards solutions driven by artificial intelligence. In this article we tell you why the iPhone could have the days counted according to Eddy Cue, Senior Vice President of Apple services.
When will iPhone stop selling?
CU said, during his testimony in the antimonopoly trial that faced Google with the United States Department of Justice, that the evolution of artificial intelligence in the next decade could convert the iPhone in an obsolete object. “You may not need an iPhone in ten years, no matter how crazy it sounds,” he added.
Apple's high command words have generated a wave of concerns in the technological sector, not only because of the authority of those who pronounce them, but because they direct directly to a Radical Change that would alter our lives completely. According to him, we would stop using the device that takes away the most time of our daily routine to give way to artificial intelligence that advances at such a speed that in not much time it will be able to completely replace our terminals.
After knowing this statement, we now understand why Apple has been trying to find and develop a new type of product that collects the iPhone witness as a flagship of the brand and pillar of its income. The autonomous car was canceled, mixed reality glasses, Apple Vision pro, They are not having the success they expected, so now Apple engineers point to folding devices for the medium term.
However, not even such devices could be the future. Far days may be marked by artificial intelligence applied to more discreet and personal products, and even without a screen?
Personal assistants: they are the future
Today it is practically impossible to imagine a world without iPhone, it would even fit more in a post -political science fiction film than in a nearby reality, but market movements point in that direction. In fact, attempts to launch accessories such as Rabbit R1a portable device driven by AI without touch screen or applications, with personal assistant functions, are a sign that trends are changing. In fact, Cue also mentioned that they are working on intelligent wearables, in addition to some Increased reality glassesmore similar to the finish line than to Apple's vision.
In addition, the Executive dropped one of the tracks that mark the course to be followed by the Californians: they are working on integrating search solutions based on artificial intelligence in Safari. So, Google would be replaced as a search engine for models such as the one offered by Chatgpt.
In any case, Cue does not want the alarms to sound more than due. The iPhone is still Apple's cornerstone and the company still has several Aces under the manga to finish exploiting its star product.
