Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice chairman of providers, gave an ominous warning in the present day that the iPhone might go the way in which of the iPod 10 years from now. And the explanation, as one would possibly guess, is synthetic intelligence.
Incumbents have a tough time … we’re not an oil firm, we’re not toothpaste — these are issues which can be going to final eternally … you could not want an iPhone 10 years from now.
Cue went on to say that the perfect factor Apple did was kill the iPod, a transfer he stated was daring. “Why would you kill the golden goose,” he added.
Which will look like a foolish factor for Apple to say, provided that greater than half of its income is iPhone gross sales. However Cue calls AI a “large technological shift,” and means that such shifts can humble corporations that when appeared unassailable. “Once I bought to Silicon Valley,” he stated, “all the perfect corporations or probably the most profitable corporations” — he talked about HP, Solar Microsystems, and Intel — “both don’t exist in the present day or are considerably smaller and far much less impactful.”
