NOPE. Sure Zuckerberg wants to take down the iPhone and the meta glasses have done pretty good but nah.

I think a more likely scenario is we still carry a thing, but the UX and app model is very different. We saw some prototypes of that earlier on, that's gone kinda quiet now but I bet we'll see another batch come the holidays

Agreed, that "visionary" post I linked talks about a new paradigm for smartphones, less onus on the user to install and identify which two apps can do a thing for them (paraphrasing) - and it sounds way better to me.

I'm with you on this one. There have been several iterations of wearables in the past 5-10 years or so. While initially they seem super cool and futuristic, I think the novelty fades quickly once in use. Fidgeting with clothes, e-gloves, scrolling with my eyes etc...I remember the nuisance of Google Glass after about 30 seconds. I'm happy seeking my information as needed not fu*%ing about with a constant, wearable, information feed to my face.

Yeah they're have, I was never tempted by any of them, other than smart watches for fitness tracking.
