The iPhone has long stood the test of time. Come what may, it marches on, unencumbered. A new challenger now lurks in the shadows, waiting to strike when the moment is right.<\/p>\n

Word on the street is OpenAI, maker of ChatGPT, is building a new smartphone. You might say, “Okay, one more smartphone, what’s the big deal?” The big deal, dear reader, is this new smartphone may be coming to eat Apple’s lunch. Rumour has it that this OpenAI phone aims to replace the sea of colourful icons and constant scrolling on your current iPhone with a singular, intelligent interface that understands a user\u2019s life through the natural mediums of voice and vision. In other words, it may challenge the app-centric world Apple spent nearly two decades building. No wonder insiders are calling it the \u201canti-iPhone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unlike the iPhone, which demands constant attention, the OpenAI phone is rumoured to do the opposite by minimising interactions so you can, perhaps, go out and touch the grass every once in a while, as Apple CEO Tim Cook too wants you to, lately. It would incorporate the design mastery of legendary Apple alumnus Jony Ive who has, on multiple occasions, condoned the “unintended consequences” of the iPhone, particularly screen addiction. It won’t be surprising if the OpenAI phone has no screen, or something they feel is the right size.<\/p>\n

In this vision of the future, the friction of opening a specific app to book a flight or filter a restaurant menu disappears. Instead, you speak to a persistent, proactive AI agent \u2013 very likely ChatGPT \u2013 that manages these tasks in the background, effectively stripping away the layers of software that currently stand between human intent and digital execution. This shifts the focus from navigating a grid to fulfilling a need. Some in the industry already feel that it is a good idea. CEO of Nothing, Carl Pei, said recently, “the app grid had a good 15-year run, but the next interface is intent.”<\/p>\n
