Do smartphones really have nowhere to innovate?

After the release of IPhone5S and 5c, the blame for Apple's lack of innovation has been overwhelming, and every generation of iphone iPhone4 after that has been hard to escape. The Note3 that Apple's rival Samsung put out a week ago is even less of a comment. Samsung's iterations were equally palatable (if not more distasteful) after the 2011 launch of the Giant-screen stylus note. So a kind of argument quietly spread and got a lot of people's recognition: "The performance of the smart machine has been excessive, mobile phone manufacturers have no room for innovation." Is that really true? Are smart machines really smart? Call hands back to the 2007 Macworld Conference, and you'll see that jobs didn't say that the iphone was a smartphone. He describes the iphone in this way: "An ipod, a mobile phone and an internet connection." His only reference to the "smartphone" was to taunt the BlackBerry and Nokia keyboards with a prefix called "the so-called" while the eyes were full of contempt. As "Star Trek" and "Fly to Space 2001" fans, jobs how can the Internet and entertainment equipment, "smart"? Moreover smartphone "smart" originally and "Intelligence" (intelligent) far from. Early iphone and Dopod users may have been asked "what is a smartphone". The answer to this question is very difficult, if you answer from a functional perspective, such as touch screen and WiFi, you will find that many high-end functional machines have the same function. If you are from an extensibility perspective, you will find that there are similar functions such as firmware upgrades, Java software extensions, and so on. Finally, we found that the boundary between the smart machine and the function machine is not so obvious, the most important reason is that the smart machine is not intelligent at all. After more than 10 years of development, smartphones are fundamentally still a computing device, unlike PCs, where iterations also meet the same Moore's law as PCs. Qualcomm at last week's media briefing to advise manufacturers to weaken the concept of the CPU, Qualcomm Vice President James bluntly, CPU is the PC era of things, want to pay attention to mobile phone connectivity, graphics, positioning and situational understanding ability. The concept of "situational understanding" coincides with Apple's M7 coprocessor and Moto X's X8 smart chip. Siri: My concubine can't. A smart machine is not a device that accepts commands, it should be able to answer users ' questions, and even ask questions before they are noticed. The famous "Dartmouth Conference" defines the definition of "artificial intelligence" and will "accurately describe human learning ability and intelligence and use robots to simulate" as the development direction of artificial intelligence. Before you have the ability to learn and judge, a smart machine must first have the ability to perceive. Apple's M7 and Moto and X8 are strictly not adding new sensors, but instead integrate the sensors into the secondary processor, bypassing the CPU and reducing power consumption through more low-level calls. So the phone needs more sensors, the latest KinectCan already perceive the user's pulse. Sensors will keep track of everything you do--such as your heart rate, blood pressure, food intake and other health data, such as your reading preferences, buying preferences, and aesthetic tendencies, such as your ambient and atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, traffic, air quality--and then analyze the data. iphone's Siri and 5S fingerprint sensors are revolutionary in concept, but users are hard to get a revolutionary experience after fresh. In Siri, for example, the user quickly discovers that the Voice assistant is a fool for the basic commands and the "eggs" that programmers have arranged beforehand. It is not surprising that the astonishing potential of early computers has given scientists an optimistic outlook for "artificial intelligence", and eventually they have encountered a bottleneck that has not yet been resolved, namely, the gap between logical language and natural language. The former needs a precise definition of confrontation and quantity, which is based on the scene of the dialogue. Every vague word in the context of the situation has become a precise concept that both sides understand, but for Siri it is really "concubine can't". To solve this problem, we first require more advanced algorithms and almost unlimited computational power. Human exploration of the unknown is inextricably linked to supercomputers, look at the computational power needed for oil exploration and weather forecasts, look at the computational capabilities needed to simulate nuclear explosions and wind tunnel tests, and accurately understand the computational power of human needs and semantic needs in the same order of magnitude as these major scientific projects, Do you still think that the hardware of the 4 core 2GHz is already in excess? People and intelligent opportunities to produce true love? IPhone4 's computing power is already equivalent to that of the 80 's supercomputer, but the human brain is just beginning to look like a supermodel, and IBM is claiming to be ahead. In the short term, the computing power of handheld terminals is far from satisfying the requirement of "artificial intelligence". But cloud computing and high-speed Internet connectivity are likely to bring real smartphones ahead of time, taking into account the needs of hundreds of millions of users and the occasional risk of disconnection, distributed computing may be the direction of the development of smart machines. 5G Network is not a speed definition, but high-speed, free, stable, low-cost package of standards, users no longer care about speed because it does not feel the Internet speed, no longer care about the cost because of unlimited traffic. The computational performance of the handset itself is weakened, and the perceived performance and connection performance are enhanced. Communication between users and smart machines is more diverse, wearable devices can be one of them but not limited to this one, voice interaction becomes mainstream, body sense and brain sense also surface. Do you think it's too advanced to read here, and it has nothing to do with the development of the smart machine at the moment? Clarke once said, "Humans always underestimate the technological advances in the short term by overestimating the effects of science over the long term." Spielberg's "AI" describes a robot David born for Love. When David prayed for 2000 years in front of Blue Fairy, how many viewers were moved by the love of his mother's day. A female sociologist at the Intel Institute said last week that humans would eventually fall in love with their electronic products. Many netizens express the shocking. But considerTo the smart machine and its cloud data one day will become the world's most know you that one, love and why not? When will such an omnipotent and emotionally charged device come? All this may depend not only on technology, but also on who is in charge of the technology.
