Is Technology Integration the future ??
Why Integration is the key to future products?
With many varieties of products being manufactured by so many different companies, it feels like the Tech industry has reached a saturation point. Many of them don’t work seamlessly to their full potential as they should and that is the problem we will look into.
So what can the Tech industry do to solve it ??
The first thing to do is to be inspired by “The Apple philosophy”. Apple has been consistently producing consumer-grade products that integrate with all their devices without any hassle. And that provides a smooth user experience, which is so crucial in today’s ever-evolving, technology-driven modern world. They enhance the user experience by making the connectivity between their accessories and products a breeze.
This is all credits to the W1 chipset, T1, and all the same chipsets they put in each of their devices for the effortless switching between Macbook to iPhone to Apple Watch to their new Airpods Pro.
So why haven’t other companies adopted this methodology?
The simple answer to that is that they don’t have their own ecosystem set up. However much they try, they are always going to be playing second fiddle to Apple.
The good news though, is that third party manufacturers have a golden chance to grab this market. They can create devices that offer a seamless connection between 2 products of different companies. This will offer an experience that only Apple products could previously offer.
We will take an example of a similar product: These are the new Oneplus Bullets Wireless Z
You might think these are just another pair of Bluetooth earphones. Yes, they are, but with a special button. And that button is what sets it apart and makes the experience of using your existing devices more special than before.
There is a button on the neckband which is for quickly switching between 2 devices. You can do it just by double-clicking the button. It is a feature that is better implemented on the Apple side of things where the AirPods auto-detect the device with sound output and auto-switch to it, but this earphone’s quick switch feature is certainly taking us nearer to that level of an ideal experience.
This pair of earphones has made us realize the importance of a product that makes the experience of using other devices around your joy. Similar products by third-party vendors should be manufactured as this is the perfect time to intermingle all these products together and bring them under one umbrella.
These nifty tricks up the sleeve of Oneplus Bullets Wireless Z have made me brainstorm about where the tech industry is moving towards. And I have maybe reached a conclusion.
There is going to be an influx of new tech products, but only those who offer a superior experience with products of different origin too, will survive and others would slowly fade away.
