Tech Leaders Signal the Beginning of the End for Smartphones

*Industry leaders increasingly believe AI-powered wearables could eventually challenge the smartphone’s dominant role in consumer technology.

Several technology executives, including leaders at Apple, have suggested that smartphones may no longer serve as consumers’ primary devices within the next decade, Fortune reports. Their outlook reflects rapid advances in artificial intelligence and growing interest in devices designed to anticipate user needs.

Many technology companies are investing in hardware they believe could reduce reliance on smartphones. Industry leaders expect next-generation 6G networks to support continuous audio and video processing, allowing AI systems to respond in real time.

Executives say these systems could operate differently from traditional apps. Companies envision AI assistants that continuously learn user preferences and respond based on context.
