Will 2025 be the year that we mass adopt foldables and we embrace AI? Not a chance, says

Carl Pei.

The first month of 2025 is almost over now, but the year has eleven more months in it, so a lot can and will happen in the tech realm. Trends will rise and fall… and some will just fail.

Carl Pei, the mastermind behind the Nothing brand, has its own top 10 list of predictions for 2025 that he

posted on his X account.

Here it is.

Pei foresees a shift in consumer attitudes toward artificial intelligence, to put it mildly. He’s predicting fatigue with the overuse of AI in smartphones and the continued struggle of AI-first hardware to find widespread appeal beyond niche uses.

Foldable smartphones, he suggests, will also remain a niche market. That’s not the first time he’s

trashing the idea that foldables could become mainstream all of a sudden.

On a broader economic scale, Pei expects the US to enter a “Golden Age”, while India’s stock market may face short-term challenges before reaching new highs. In contrast, Europe is projected to continue losing influence.

According to him, Apple will remain a reliable stock, though its performance could fluctuate due to unmet AI expectations.

Personally, I think that foldables would be a major hit if they were cheaper. Other than that, I agree with the man.

Sebastian, a veteran of a tech writer with over 15 years of experience in media and marketing, blends his lifelong fascination with writing and technology to provide valuable insights into the realm of mobile devices. Embracing the evolution from PCs to smartphones, he harbors a special appreciation for the Google Pixel line due to their superior camera capabilities. Known for his engaging storytelling style, sprinkled with rich literary and film references, Sebastian critically explores the impact of technology on society, while also perpetually seeking out the next great tech deal, making him a distinct and relatable voice in the tech world.
