> redesign the phone from the ground up purely around an AI assistant

Literally nobody in the world wants more AI slop in their lives.

For the last 6 months, I've been telling my company that I don't think our app will matter much soon. I think most of our customers will want to interact with our service via their AI agent.

This is coming from my own experience as a software developer. I do not want to leave Claude Code. I'm hooking up everything into Claude Code and have it do what I want for me. I do not want to log into my cloud provider. I do not want to log into my Github. I don't want to log into any 3rd party services. I just want to stay in Claude Code.

I think developers tend to be ahead of the general public by 1-2 years in AI use. I imagine a future where most people simply want to stay within their ChatGPT/Claude/Muse/Grok/Gemini agent to do just about everything.

If my prediction is correct, I think Apple is going to be in trouble because it weakens the iPhone ecosystem severely and they are so far behind in AI everything that it's hard for me to see them ever catching up. Not to mention they do not have access to compute since they've not invested in compute.
