DiDi and Lital discuss Elon Musk’s prediction that apps will be replaced by AI agents in 3–5 years, reviewing phone UI history (T9, BlackBerry, iPhone/App Store) and questioning future pricing models (tokens, bandwidth, on-device GPUs). They debate which apps persist (visual content, dating), how aggregators like OpenTable/Airbnb/booking.com may remain, risks of paid recommendations and transparency, and predict Google could dominate consumer agents while Apple lags. Producer Dave adds an Apple user perspective.
