like phones now + new meme features

Little faster but more thin and thinner bullshit

Transparency is silly
>Worse screen
>Engineering nightmare
>Fragile
>Serves literally no purpose except for looking somewhat nice

I think they will look mostly the same but offer all kinds of improvements. As far as their form is concerned, I think they reached the end of their evolution.

I mean, PCs now aren't that different from the ones 10 years ago.

within 10 years apple will release a smartphone you can carry in your wallet

I'll let you know in 10 years

>physical keyboards will never EVER come back

I hope somethinh like this, but in color.

Probably like a headset or some shit like google glasses, possibly with AR capabilities

mashable.com/2016/05/20/hyper-reality-keiichi-matsuda/#OLcJav4RSmqw

Maybe not in 10 but in 15-20, this shit looks scary as fuck.

Good riddance.

Smartphones will die out like pagers did and will be replaces by smart glasses like the google glass but much more advanced and supporting full field of vision

Given that everything has slowed down and people now look for social progress (or the opposite more like) we'll see nothing like the picture you posted. At best they'll try to introduce old gimmicky shit in new ways again, I'm thinking they will try -again- with 3D and this sort of augmented reality shit, more robotics, better AI and that's it. They'll improve on surveillance and ways to convince the population to listen to specific news, buy specific things just like they're doing now.

I used to love technology a decade ago. Right now though, I would love if it was more focused on helping people do manual labor rather than doing it all by itself. Try to introduce the masses to toughen up in times on need and stop needing these tools altogether. All this instead of putting kids in literal bubbles until their mid 20s where they will be completely useless. But that's too ideal. It will take two generations after a big collapse until humans are capable of having a thick skin.

The current form factor for smartphones came out about 10 years ago, let that sink in

They will never go away as long as people keep buying them.

So why haven't you bought a nice mechanical keyboard yet?

>time in notification bar: 7:12 AM
>time on redundant home screen clock: 12:31:42
>if the home screen clock is AM why does it say good morning and not good evening
>if the home screen clock is PM why doesn't it say good afternoon

1/10 would not buy to use as frisbee

Transparent phones are never going to be a thing. What you'll get is bendable smart"phones" that you get to wear on your wrist and tape to your forehead.

That's just an icon, not a clock
Probably from a notification

I don't understand what you're trying to explain to me. Both clocks are clearly clocks.

It's okay, one day you'll graduate grade school

Dunno, I don't think most people would want so much crap in their face all the time, would probably still keep it on a device that's not always broadcasting ads and shit directly at you, at least the majority of consumers I'd guess.
Maybe made more into watches more or something, or gloves and such. perhaps forearm bracers will become a thing.

try as I might user I just can't get my fractions

Yeah, I guess phones will be completely bezel less in 10 years but transparent never.

Will probably in some usage cases mimic transparency with really wide angle high pixel cameras and axis sensors.

Forearm bracers

Indeed, though with more smartphone capability, or perhaps even more in 10 years time.

Battery life will be 4 hours

We're not talking about the next iphone.

Just curious, how are transparent phones possible? What's the technology behind them? I mean where do they hide stuffs like battery, board etc if phone is fully transparent?

And no I am not taking about using output of camera in screen bullshit.

You forgot:
>Reflections reduce viewability

...

>The "It's a sunny day" is outside of the screen

Smartphones will be able to display text right in the corner of your field of view.

He's talking about physical keyboards on cellphones. They are almost nonexistent at this point.

It will look the same with more features and faster. PCs and laptops is the ones that will change a lot.

>What are smartphones going to be like exactly ten years from now?
Useless

no more phones as we know them. we are replacing our external monitors with vr headsets, which will only be the size of a small strip of glass in front of your eye.
people these days still use separate mp3 players or even portable cd players. in ten years you'll look the same outdated as they do when you're using a phone.

there's absolutely no need to carry a phone around.

Welcome to the future, senpai.

>transparent phones
what's the point?

Have thick skin so they wouldn't get cut on your edge.

yeah remember when that stopped the glossy display meme from taking off oh wait

next generation kids would laugh at you

Either:
>AR glasses, kinda like Google Glass but more advanced
or
>Independent smartwatches

At some point, probably not soon atleast, we'll probably start wearing our tech more. Phone are already a chore to carry around and keep up with. Something that's simple enough that can be put on like clothes without looking hipster as fuck like today's shit. Pretty much how I see it. Neck bracers, arm bracers, hell probably shit imbeded into your shirts and pants.

Then afterwards we'll probably move on to surgical implanting our tech. We really are moving closer and closer into our tech.

There won't be no smartphones. Just things like Google Glass.

>surgical implant

will never take off. nobody would want a lifetime of aging tech,

Meme phones will dominate

I hope this. Would be nice if some company other than Microsoft, Apple, and Samsung did it and just mopped the floor with them.

Depends one the type of surgery needed. If it's just a simple tiny incision or something less, with no risk involved, people would flock to it. It could even be something like a new way of getting a tattoo.

>and then you do it every year until your arm is unusable

Apple Innovation™

I wear glasses all day anyway
And even if I didn't, if I could watch anime or shit around on Sup Forums without having to put in headphones and stare down at my phone I'd be willing to regardless

Its probably more than 10 years before it can be unobtrusive enough to be worth doing though

Not like that.

Like whatever iPhone that comes out 9 years from now.

Also, people can see the porn you're watching.

Why would they do that when they want you to ditch your wallet for your phone now?

>Google Glass is the future
Google Glass crashed and fucking burned, give it up.

>like phones now + new meme features

This.

Unless we develop direct brain links or some completely groundbreaking technology like that, the shape, size and general use of a smartphone can't really change.

>implying apple will still exist in 9 years time
peak faggot has already happened, user, apple is in an inexorable decline

Phones and technology will become more compatible with human senses. At the moment, one of the problems with technology is the disconnect between the human experience and use of smartphones and computers.

An example of this is the difference between a phone/tablet and a book. When I hold a book, I can tell roughly how long it's going to be (how many pages) from how heavy it is, or from just looking at it of course. When I'm halfway through a book, I know that I am because of the distribution of the book's weight. The same cannot be said for a smartphone. In the future, we'll have technology that is more of a sensory experience than tapping a piece of glass.

iphone is just about ten years old and looks much the same.

I imagine there may have been some advances in AR wearables that may obselete parts of the smartphone, but otherwise I think the design is as fixed as the laptop

is a fashion statement you'll be wearing a smartwatch and a based dynatac

Like current phones except more politically correct

That information isn't nearly useful enough to devote hardware towards.

Just like current phones except shittier in every way.

they will be 8.5 inches as standard.

...

Advanced sensor technology is probably going to expand the uses. There's already a fair few medical applications, even some sensor some Japs made that uses ultrasound to predict when you need to poop, and gives you a ten minute warning, so old people don't have to wear... rather unflattering undergarments.

We'll probably get a similar sort of thing for strokes and heart attacks in ten years' time.

Hololens-esque features would be cool

Reminds me of this sci-fi book I read as a teen, it actually has some pretty accurate predictions about data mining and lack of privacy and stuff.

Yes wearable tech is pretty much the future, just as pocket watches as opposed to wrist watches.

Dang.

I think he ment the bars under the """""icon"""""
also if icons arent dynamic yet between now and 1 second I'm gonna kill myself

I just hope eventually one of these stories that pops up ever few months about a new "breakthrough" battery tech that will extend smartphone battery life to weeks or months instead of the standard "barely one fucking day" pans out

Ted Kaczynski pls.

you insert it in the ass and you get feelers when you get a call

It's a poor example, but the ultimate goal of a phone that has a more sensory experience is definitely something to work towards

Ok, but provide an example of why anyone would bother? I've never heard of it as a goal for anyone, other than basic haptic feedback

In 10 years SIM cards won't exist anymore, mobile numbers will not exist

everyone will be communicating using the interent, skype, whatsup viber and shit like that

>8 years ago
What happened with this idea?

Nokia is shit now.

in 10 years you will literally need 2 different apps to communicate with each person you know one to receive and one to send, and flagship phones will have 128 cores and a terrabyte of ram yet still lag like fuck. iPhones will not have changed except they will be 1mm thick

>128 cores and a terrabyte of ram yet still lag like fuck

reminds me my 2003 self thinking cpus will go into Thz numbers

Or easily detect you doing creepshots

Whatever Samsung decides it should be.
No other company drives the development more than them.

Brain to chip interface. Screenshot this

And you could just use your camera as background

Don't forget you'll lose it if it runs out of batteries, or you put the display on dim and it's silent.

mate, a shit ton of people don't like needles, do you really think they're going to go for getting holes cut into them like that if they can avoid it?

It would be advanced ergonomics more than anything, allowing a smartphone to become more than a glass brick and closer to something that is actually enjoyable to use. It's the exact reason why paper books are still more popular than e-books, because there's no satisfaction derived from picking up an e-reader when compared to picking up a book.

I'll give you a hint.
Not that.

Don't see the point of surgery for aging technology. See pacemakers, for example. Lots of shit to consider.
I'm even hard-pressed to support "cabling" surgery. You know, setting up wires for internal organs, and leave the apparatus on the outside.

b-but priv, and

well, priv

blackberry wants to make budget Androids soon though, maybe i'll get one, i stopped writing anything longer than two sentences after i switched to full-touch phone.

no lie I look up to that man and wish I had even a fraction of the insight he possesses

as our ability to make better batteries improves they can be made thinner and give the same battery life. so if we have it apples way the phones will be thinner despite no one wanting that but the request made every release cycle cant be made

they'll be the size of a tablet and thinner than a sheet of paper

rollable/foldable i guess

I'd buy a blackberry. But you can't find them here, :(

Futurama kinda nailed it
