The iPhone has come a long way since its launch in 2007, and the handsets just keep on getting better every year. It appears that the iPhone is not here to stay forever, at least according to Apple's SVP Eddy Cue in his latest remarks in a court hearing. Today, Eddy Cue is in court to give testimony as part of the Google antitrust case regarding search, and apart from the shift towards AI for various services, the SVP talked about the future of the iPhone. Apple's Senior Vice President says people might not need an iPhone by 2035, highlighting AI's ability to change the technology landscape In today's court proceedings, Apple's Senior Vice President, Eddy Cue, stated that the fast transition in the landscape of technology due to AI could have an impact on the future of the iPhone. AI has a deep impact on search, considering how OpenAI is using ChatGPT as a dedicated platform for the purpose. This shows the extent of AI and how it can replace certain technologies in the industry. Eddy Cue also stated that with AI advancing faster than ever before, people "may not need an iPhone 10 years from now." Check out the full quote from the SVP, as per reports from Bloomberg. “You may not need an iPhone 10 years from now as crazy as it sounds,” Cue said in a court. “The only way you truly have true competition is when you have technology shifts. Technology shifts create these opportunities. AI is a new technology shift, and it’s creating new opportunities for new entrants.” We have to take note that the iPhone is here to stay and Cue's remarks only represent the capabilities of AI and its ever-growing landscape. Nonetheless, the statement received plenty of attention, as the iPhone is Apple's best selling product and has matured into a device that is hard to be replaced by a new gadget such as the Vision Pro. Even though the iPhone is stronger than ever in the market with its state-of-the-art hardware and Apple Intelligence integration, AI has transcended into something more valuable. Apple is aiming to launch its smart glasses with Apple Intelligence integration soon, which could serve the same purpose as the iPhone but not as a full-fledged replacement. Moreover, the devices would have to mature over the course of years before we can start making speculations regarding the iPhone's future. Eddy Cue's remarks only highlight the importance of AI and its impact on the tech landscape. Deal of the Day
