SpaceX revealed a prototype of a slim, smartphone-like device to investors, according to the Wall Street Journal. The device is intended to be thinner than an iPhone and run its own operating system. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip and is part of SpaceX's efforts to integrate AI technology from Elon Musk's xAI. The project is still in its early stages, and it remains unclear if the device will be built. SpaceX said the project is still in its early stages. Whether the device actually gets built remains unclear.
The prototype is part of Musk's vision for an 'everything app' inspired by Chinese super-apps like WeChat. The device could potentially reduce Musk's reliance on Apple and Google, which currently host his xAI chatbot. OpenAI is also developing its own AI devices, with an AI smartphone focusing on software as the current front-runner. An AI agent would manage all smartphone tasks for the user. OpenAI is also testing unconventional form factors, such as a pin, a smart speaker, or a digital voice recorder.
