- Any CEO, Carl PE, believes that smartphones will have only one app in the future – OS.
- He imagines to be obsolete and replace an agent operating system in the next decade that understands context and works on your behalf.
In a recent interview with WiredSome CEO Carl PE did not share his vision for the future of smartphones. He believes that we are moving towards a world where apps will be obsolete.
PEI imagines that a few years below the line, smartphones will only do with an app – OS. This intelligent system will understand the needs and context of the user, and provide itself customized, which will eliminate the need to manually navigate multiple apps.
In the future, the whole phone will have only one app, and it will be OS, “PEI said.” The OS will know its user well and improve for that person.
PEI’s remarks do not come when nothing, nothing, phone 3, nothing is no phone 3. The co -founder of the former One Plus said. Wired That the company increased by 150 % last year, but it accounts for only 0.1 % of the global smartphone market. Nevertheless, by challenging the traditional smartphone design and UX, nothing has been set up for yourself, which focuses on transparent, simplicity and a unique visual identity.
He said, PEI’s ambitions are ahead of the aesthetics of the phone. He considers a future where smartphones will not need to scroll or dig through the settings on apps pages. Instead, the phone will understand the context, like where you are, what time is it, and what is on your schedule, and timely, automatic suggestions offer or work on your own.
Do you think the smartphone app can go free in the next decade?

“The next step after the personal data -driven is automation,” he said. “The system knows you, knows who you are, and know what you want.”
Of course, the vision of PEI relies heavily on integrated AI smartphones. They believe that the operating system will serve as a personal agent to reduce screen time and increase productivity. However, he rightly admits that this will not happen overnight.
“On this occasion, if we said, we have removed apps from smartphones, no one will buy it,” he said.
Instead, he sees gradually transfer, which is manufactured with companies’ testing, learning and user feedback. It is estimated that it may take seven to ten years to fully understand this shift, noting that apps will not disappear quickly.
