JUST IN: OpenAI is reportedly working on its own smartphone built around AI agents that could replace traditional apps. Here’s what’s going on: Reports suggest the device would center on a continuous AI system that handles tasks for you like booking flights, sending messages, and managing schedules instead of relying on separate apps. Instead of opening apps, you tell an AI agent what you want and it executes across services automatically. OpenAI is not trying to build another phone. It’s trying to remove the need for apps entirely. On one side, this solves a real problem. People don’t want apps. They want outcomes. But the tension is massive. Apple and Google control the mobile ecosystem through app stores. Removing apps means bypassing the infrastructure that defines modern smartphones. The reported plan includes building custom chips with partners like Qualcomm and MediaTek, with production likely years away. The stakes go far beyond one device. If it works, it rewrites how people interact with technology. If it fails, it joins a growing list of AI hardware bets that couldn’t replace the smartphone. Despite this news, there is still a much higher chance on Polymarket of OpenAI announcing headphones before a phone. #openai #tech #ai
