Allison Johnson discusses the unique appeal of flip phones, highlighting how their distinct form factor attracts attention in a market dominated by slab-style smartphones, and touches on the challenges faced by foldable phones like Samsung's early efforts.
Windows PCs are poised for a revolution with a combination of chip improvements, new form factors, and Microsoft's commitment to AI. Apple's success with its M-series chips has prompted other companies like Qualcomm, Nvidia, and AMD to develop their own Arm-based chips for Windows laptops. While Windows on Arm has had its challenges, Microsoft's push into artificial intelligence, along with the exploration of innovative form factors by manufacturers, is making Windows PCs more exciting. The competition between Windows and Mac is expected to intensify, leading to better performance, battery life, and build quality for both platforms.
