With the latest wave of smartphones launching with powerful AI chips built right into the phone (not relying on the cloud), I believe we’re entering an era where you might not need internet access for smart features anymore. Tasks like real-time translation, photo editing, voice assistance, and predictive typing could run directly on your device speeding things up and boosting privacy. But it also depends on developers optimizing their apps for offline AI, and whether phones can balance power, heat, and battery drain while running heavy AI workloads. If it works out, it could change how we view expensive data plans and cloud-dependent services. Can you imagine everyone having something like that at their finger tips.
