<ul class="summary-list"><li>Apple, Samsung, and Google are all turning to AI to inject new life into their devices.</li><li>They'll be using it to sell phones to consumers who've become less enthusiastic about them.</li></ul>You almost certainly own a smartphone, though you probably feel like you've owned the same one for years.Where industry giants like Apple and Samsung once waged fierce smartphone wars to give consumers increasingly high-tech devices to put in their pockets, these devices have become ubiquitous and quotidian in recent years, their capabilities seemingly plateauing.With billions of people owning smartphones, the companies selling them have had to do less to convince users to buy them.Competition may have died down but the original smartphone wars were so intense for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/steve-jobs">Steve Jobs </a>he once declared that he'd start a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/steve-jobs-called-android-grand-theft-of-iphone-2011-10">"thermonuclear war."</a>The late Apple founder was furious about <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/steve-jobs-called-android-grand-theft-of-iphone-2011-10">Android</a>, the smartphone operating system Google unveiled just 11 months after the first iPhone was unveiled in January 2007. He felt Apple's hard work had been stolen."I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong," Jobs said, according to an account in his authorized biography by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-elon-musk-steve-jobs-similar-different-management-style-biography-walter-isaacson">Walter Isaacson.</a>The animosity went beyond Google. Apple executives were infuriated in 2010 by the Samsung Galaxy S, which they thought was a carbon copy of the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/tech/best-iphone">iPhone</a>. Samsung's decision to partner with Google to integrate Android into its devices — after years of being a key supplier to Apple — caused more bad blood.<div type="image" title="Steve Jobs" height="2113" width="3000" msid="111381920" hostid="261" sizebytes="445370"></div>Years of fierce litigation over alleged patent infringements followed, and intense gamesmanship as smartphone makers vied to sell consumers on their visions of pocketable hardware.Though some years have passed since these bitter feuds — a court settlement in 2018 over patents may have played its part in ending them — there are signs that a new era of the smartphone wars is about to begin. This time, it is about to be <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/deepmind-researchers-ai-chatbots-bad-humor-not-funny-jokes-comedians-2024-6">supercharged by AI.</a><h2 id="c8ab4018-a433-4892-bf75-46c4231a6da2">Smartphone wars in the AI era</h2>The smartphone market has been lagging. Statistics from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.canalys.com/newsroom/worldwide-smartphone-market-2023">data firm Canalys</a> showed that 1.14 billion smartphones were shipped in 2023, down 4% from 2022.People seem to be holding onto their existing phones for longer, too. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.assurant.com/newsroom-detail/2023/November/mobile-device-trade-in-programs-growth">Data published in November</a> by business services firm Assurant found that the average age of devices traded in or upgraded was just over 3 1/2 years. The industry had come to expect consumers to upgrade every one to two years, but it's hard to blame consumers for the shift.Apple has often unveiled new iPhone models that look nearly identical to the one before. New features can seem incremental or pointless, too. The iPhone 15 Pro, which has the same 6.1 inch "Super Retina XDR display" as the iPhone 14 Pro, swapped its ring/silent switch for an "action Button." A 6-core GPU replaced a 5-core one. The story is similar for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/tech/samsung-galaxy-s24-review">Samsung's Galaxy series</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/tech/google-pixel-7a-review">Google's Pixel phones.</a>But generative AI looks like it will end the era of small changes.Apple, Samsung, and Google are all loudly talking about how they will use the technology to inject new life into their devices.Earlier this month, Apple CEO Tim Cook kicked off day one of the company's Worldwide Developers Conference by revealing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-winner-big-tech-company-artifical-intelligence-google-microsoft-openai-2024-6">Apple Intelligence</a>, a suite of new AI features aimed at revamping the company's full roster of hardware and set to be released later this year.<div type="image" title="Apple WWDC 2024" height="1042" width="1874" msid="111381922" hostid="261" sizebytes="27866"></div>The company said that, on iPhones, Apple Intelligence would help users "enhance their writing" on everything from emails, messages, and documents to summarizing audio and enhancing virtual assistant Siri. Apple has also <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-holds-power-openai-deal-chatgpt-iphones-tim-cook-2024-6">struck a deal with ChatGPT maker OpenAI</a> to integrate the buzzy chatbot more deeply into its operating system.iPhones drove more than half the company's revenue — $200.6 billion of its $383.3 billion net sales in its last fiscal year.The company will be banking on Apple Intelligence being a hit with consumers, potentially revitalizing sales in markets like China. There, people are lapping up new devices from domestic rivals, such as Huawei's Mate 60 Pro. According to figures from Counterpoint, Chinese iPhone sales <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-china-iphone-sales-slide-huawei-counterpoint-tim-cook-2024-4">dropped 19% year-on-year</a> in the first quarter of 2024.<div type="image" title="A customer tries out Huawei Mate 60 smartphone at a Huawei flagship store on September 4, 2023 in Shanghai, China." height="2800" width="4200" msid="111381926" hostid="261" sizebytes="480596"></div>Google and Samsung have been just as busy.Last month, Google <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXVvvRhiGjI">demoed its AI assistant, Project Astra,</a> at its I/O conference. Supported by its multimodal Gemini model, it's been designed to provide real-time conversation and support on Pixel phones. The new slate of Pixel phones, usually revealed in the fall, will be showcased on <a target="_blank" href="https://store.google.com/gb/magazine/google_pixel_9_pro?hl=en-GB">August 13</a> instead.The company also announced other <a target="_blank" href="https://blog.google/technology/ai/google-io-2024-100-announcements/">AI features</a>, which would help detect nuisance calls, create and drop AI-generated images into apps like Gmail, and allow users to quickly retrieve information from huge PDFs by asking simple questions.<a target="_blank" href="https://news.samsung.com/global/invitation-galaxy-unpacked-july-2024-galaxy-ai-is-here">At an event in Paris</a> next month, Samsung is planning to reveal updates to <a target="_blank" href="https://news.samsung.com/global/enter-the-new-era-of-mobile-ai-with-samsung-galaxy-s24-series">"Galaxy AI,"</a> its attempt to introduce "meaningful intelligence" with communication that will feature on its Galaxy S24 smartphone lineup.<div type="image" title="The Samsung Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus in various color options, laying flat on a textured black surface." height="2250" width="3000" msid="111381919" hostid="261" sizebytes="393782"></div>The South Korean tech giant must be hoping to regain its crown as king of the smartphone market.

<a href="http://venturebeat.com/2013/01/28/mobile-ads-just-wont-cut-it-anymore/">Mobile Ads Just Won’t Cut It Anymore</a> (VentureBeat) It’s all about the chase in advertising: tracking down the latest trends, channels, and platforms to distribute your message. Most marketers and brand managers have probably heard the phrase “lead with mobile.” But what does it really mean? Should brands only focus on <keyword id="564900" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Mobile-advertising">mobile advertising</keyword>? Should all your media efforts should be derived from the mobile experience? It’s easy to get this wrong. At first you might think mobile advertising makes sense because the ad will be where the many connected consumers are. But this isn’t right. Who really watches a video mobile ad all the way through and then goes to the brand’s Facebook page to learn more? The answer, rather, is “mobile enablement” or looking for ways to add mobile components to more traditional ads. <a href="http://venturebeat.com/2013/01/28/mobile-ads-just-wont-cut-it-anymore/">Read &gt;&gt;</a>

<a href="http://socialsolutionscollective.com/mobile-vs-apps-whats-the-difference/">Mobile Sites Vs. Apps For Dummies</a> (Social Solutions Collective) There are two major branches of mobile usage: apps (applications) and the mobile Web (a mobile browser). Unlike mobile websites, apps are not hosted on servers. Apps are self-contained programs that are typically optimized for use on smartphones and tablets. Apps have an edge if you want a deeper, more engaged experience with your users. They are also better for response time. Mobile sites beat apps in terms of access because vastly more people search the Web than an app store. For managing lots of data, apps have an edge in that they typically connect to a database where mobile websites use simpler solutions. Ultimately, apps beat mobile sites in terms of speed, data management, and advanced features. But all that functionality comes with a price tag. Most small businesses will do fine with a mobile version of their site, while larger companies, like a chain of retail stores or a conference, should look into developing an app. <a href="http://socialsolutionscollective.com/mobile-vs-apps-whats-the-difference/">Read &gt;&gt;</a>
