A manager of the old mobile phone brand predicts the next demise of the industry. He predicts that smartphones will disappear by 2030 with the appearance of new offers. Like Nokia, other telephony companies have understood the situation and are preparing to join the trend of Metavers which will soon flood the market. Nishant Batra, director of strategy and technology of Nokia made an important prediction on the telephony sector. Invited on the media The Spokesman, he said that the sector is moving inexorably towards its disappearance.
It sets the end of its existence on the market for 2030. He believes that the evolution of the metaverse will cause the death of iPhones. “We believe that this device will be surpassed by an experiment in the metaverse in the second half of the decade. “, he explained. Nishant Batra announces that it is virtual reality headsets that should take over the market. Instead of the smartphone, he explains that users will use devices intended for virtual reality “ Widespread adoption of the technology by businesses and consumers will be essential for it to really take off, and it will also depend on the availability of affordable and ergonomic wirelessly connected virtual reality and augmented reality devices. “, he adds.
The installation of these new devices in the market will take time because of its limited accessibility. The high cost of metaverses will negatively impact the industry for a while as users are concerned regarding the cost and ease of using these new devices. Like Nokia, other companies are preparing to do without iPhones. This is the case of the Méta group, which plans to market its first glasses by 2026. Apple has not remained indifferent and will soon launch its first mixed reality headset, combining augmented and virtual reality from January 2023. .
