About the fact that smartphones are becoming more popular every year less and less innovative, which leads us to look for more innovative alternatives, has been discussed for at least half a decade and is by no means the domain of fantasists. At MWC 2023, Martin Cooper himself spoke about the impending twilight of smartphones; The man is credited with inventing the cell phone.
There are many ideas. Cooper mentioned above suggested subcutaneous telecommunications implants, but not everyone is that futuristic. An example of this is the Humane AI Pin device, which, as the name suggests, has a shape Shirt pin with integrated artificial intelligence assistant. Or Rabbit R1, which uses a very similar concept but is intended for more classic pocket carrying.
The smartphone business is running out of steam
Nevertheless, there is no denying that in order for smartphones to be pushed into the background, they have to play not just aspirational questions, but also – and perhaps above all – business questions. In short: The manufacturers who have so far withdrawn billions from the smartphone market must see a more attractive perspective. It is logical.
Somewhat unexpectedly, Damien Douani and Florent Roulier, two French experts in digital technologies, believe this The demise of smartphones could happen relatively quickly. Everyone agrees on this: sensible, commercial alternatives to today’s smartphones We should see that within the next decade. And in her opinion it cannot be ruled out that they will quickly develop into leading solutions.
This is what experts point out, citing the TrendForce report In 2023, global smartphone production fell by approximately 19.5%.Second-hand sales have now almost doubled in some regions. They therefore judge the market to be oversaturated, which they believe will soon become a pressing problem at the highest level.
Customers want innovation, so you have to give it to them
What Douani and Roulier consider to be the decisive factor is not the oversaturation of the market as such, but the lack of prospects. Experts believe so Modern smartphones have reached the maximum of their capabilitieswhy their producers are not able to offer customers something spectacular that could reverse the unfavorable trend. An even better camera or a change in the housing alloy are just details – we read.
So what will companies in need of growth do? The French believe they will inevitably push for something new. Even if it took a while Gymnastics in the field of communication and consumer re-educationthat after owning a universal smartphone, he should opt for a dedicated telecommunications device again, such as the Humane Smart Badge mentioned at the beginning.
Interestingly, according to French experts, moving away from the classic smartphone should not be particularly difficult for interested companies. The customer base appears to be untapped concerned about digital hygieneand ideas straight out of sci-fi that imitate devices The JARVIS system known from the “Iron Man” seriesIt should quickly win the sympathy of gadget lovers, they said.
