Jony Ive's Latest Project Could Be an AI 'Phone' Without a Screen

[Purrific]

Is it going to be 'The Emperor's New Phone'?

I’m intrigued to see what they come up with.

Well, with no display, will there be anything to see?

Ive was good at designing boxes to put tech in.
Designing the tech to put in the boxes doesn’t really seem to be his thing.

Every product update weds to be submitted for approval. Thus stifles innovation. Not to mention the 30% commission.

It stifles malware.

Will be interesting to see the actual product. Not so sure how successful a phone will be with no screen and relying only on AI/voice activation.

Needs to be a robot not a phone. Someone needs to integrate AI into the sensors of a humanoid style robot and add voice response. That’s something Apple or OpenAI needs to jump on now.

I could believe a screen less Apple watch used mainly as a health or exercise device. Could track GPS and most needed functions with voice. Could reduce the costs and more durable.

While it would be interesting, from my experience people want to check how they are doing while they are exercising, and tap on the screen to see their numbers. while voice response could do it, I think that would be a worse UI.

its like "its not a tumoooor"...."its not a phone" read the article haha

as someone said could be a great device for the vision impaired or want something fresh that's not another damn screen beaming in their face lol

imagine a futuristic Simon says...thats what I think of...or something from the end of the movie Artificial Intelligence where the beings are "see-through" or in Ivy's instance, "glass"...fascinating

Problem is voice input is not enough. Humans need also visual and touch. And that is why touchscreen like iPhone were successful. It was not because it was some random new device. It was great bc it was exactly what was needed. Evolution of notepad.
