Once upon a time, smartphones shipped with a full slate of features. When a company touted a feature during its big, flashy keynote event, it would be available immediately, or at least as part of a day one update. Now, giants like Apple, Samsung, and Google have taken to talking about AI-powered features that are nowhere near ready when you first get your new phone.
Don’t worry, though, they’ve promised us that the features are “coming soon.” In the meantime, you’ll have to pay extra for a phone with the latest AI-ready hardware. Are we all just okay with that?
