Germany's largest telecom company, Deutsche Telekom, says AI will render apps on phones obsolete and is launching a high-end smartphone with only an AI interface.
I could see this being great! In at least several years and possibly a decade or two, when AI is far more reliable than it is now. And when it can run entirely locally on a smartphone without major problems. And when there is sufficient adoption of this approach that the inability to use apps doesn't cause interoperability problems for users.
