At this point people have been talking about 'the future of mobile' for many years and most of the predictions haven't come true.

Just for fun I am going to say by 'the future' I mean fully 10-20 years from now.

The Google Assistant or intelligent/connected chatbot/agent will be in your brain (or maybe somehow just spying on subvocalization nerves/muscle twitches). You will have a brain computer interface (or something) that you use as naturally as breathing or thinking. This will also effectively give everyone telepathic and telekinetic powers.

Installing an app will be like with Amazon Alexa, giving you additional commands/AI capabilities.

Glasses and maybe contact lenses will use eye tracking and transparent OLED microdisplays to augment reality. The phone/BCI is tiny or mainly just a fast wireless transceiver to nearby distributed localized computing clouds.

Smart phones and apps will be for poor people.
