🔥 What happened
A tech analyst declares in 2026: chatbots and agents are replacing traditional apps. Steve Jobs' iPhone moment is repeating — this time for AI interfaces.
💡 Why it matters
The author has 689 apps on his iPhone but uses only a handful. Agents with computer access make "write once, run everywhere" obsolete. Anyone building UI today is building for a dying platform.
⚡ Our take
The app store economy is a zombie. Anyone betting on mobile UI in 2026 instead of agent infrastructure loses — just like Blackberry did in 2007.
