Elon Musk Says Smartphones Won't Exist In A Few Years

Benzinga

Elon Musk predicts that smartphones won’t exist in five to six years. On The Joe Rogan Experience, Musk said apps, operating systems, and even the idea of a “phone” are becoming obsolete.  Instead, future devices will act as simple hardware interfaces — screens and speakers — connected to powerful AI systems that anticipate what users want before they ask.  Musk says AI will generate most content people consume and replace traditional apps entirely, turning phones into lightweight AI edge nodes.  If this vision plays out, smartphones won’t evolve — they’ll disappear.

00:36that phones themselves are becoming irrelevant. In Musk's vision, AI handles everything, communication,

00:43content, creation, decisions, even anticipating what you want before you ask. He says the shift

00:48could happen in just five to six years and that most content people consume will be AI generated.

00:53If Musk is right, the future isn't about better phones, it's about AI replacing them entirely.
