Everyone from Elon Musk to Mark Zuckerberg is declaring the end of the smartphone era — but is it hype or reality? On this episode of Today in Tech, Keith Shaw is joined by IDC analyst Ramon Llamas to explore whether smart glasses, earbuds, AI pins, or even brain implants will really replace your smartphone. From the rise of AR/VR wearables to the limitations of AI assistants, we dig into what’s coming, what’s hype, and why your phone isn’t going anywhere — yet.
🔍 Topics covered:
• Smartphone death predictions: fad or fact?
• Apple’s role in shaping the future of mobile
• Meta’s AR glasses, Neuralink implants, and the AI pin
• Foldables vs. wearables: what comes next?
• Why the smartphone still dominates
• Privacy concerns and the “creepy” factor of smart glasses
• What’s real, what’s gimmick, and what’s actually useful
