Today, there are more mobile phones than people on the planet. Basically all mobile and smart phones resemble a rectangular brick. Some fold, some have many screens, all are various degrees of rectangles.

In a decade, will most people’s primary “device” (what they use to connect to the Internet, or its successor) be a “rectangle”?

I’ve included a breakdown of what I view as a rectangle below, please ask any/all clarifying questions. Resolves at the end of 2034, based on the US population.

List of current devices that I consider to be a “rectangle”

• All classic mobile phones (Blackberry to iPhone and Samsung)

• All classic foldable phones (Sidekick to Samsung Flips)

• All modern watches (Apple Watch, Pixel Watch, Fitbit, Garmin) - Just a rectangle on your wrist

• Rabbit R1

List of current devices that I don’t consider to be a rectangle:

• Wearable VR/AR glasses (Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest, Google Glass)

• Non-Screen Based Hardware (AI Pin)

• Brain hardware (Neuralink)
