Never bet against the phone. Right now it's an essential component of any winning move in tech.

If you do bet on the phone, make sure you only bet on the first-party OEM. API depreciation, exclusive entitlements, user restrictions, payment-processing or flat-out Sherlocking are all realistic and credible threats to your business.

As they say, the house always wins.

It does not matter much if they do not make competitor for iPhones and get consumers to choose them. Because consumers keep buying iPhones and will have then Apple hardware.

And they cannot bring software ecosystem for their hardware without Google, at least easily.

It doesn't matter because Apple would not offer OpenAI actual integration terms, period. Their only option is to create an alternative hardware platform, because Apple fights tooth-and-nail to pick and choose what software iPhone users are allowed to run.
