This $199 AI device is a gamechanger
The race to replace the Apple (AAPL) iPhone is heating up.
We need something new to interact with artificial intelligence (AI). Tapping a six-inch glass screen won’t cut it.
I showed you Humane’s ChatGPT-powered pin that clips to your shirt a few weeks ago. Facebook’s (META) AR glasses continue to impress me.
And a new contender just entered the race.
Check out the R1 from startup Rabbit. It’s an AI-powered device that’s about half the size of your iPhone:

This handheld device is basically a super all-in-one app.
Instead of having to open the Uber app and type in where you want to go, you just tell the R1, “Order me a taxi to the Empire State building”… and it automatically does it for you.
You can play music, buy groceries, and send messages… all on one screen.

It even comes as a smartwatch:
It’s a gamechanger. And it costs just $199.
One of my big expectations is that AI will make interacting with technology more natural.
Instead of awkwardly tapping and swiping, we can just talk to the machine, and it’ll understand us.
I doubt Rabbit’s R1 is the iPhone killer, but it’s a step in the right direction. And it’s great to see hardware innovation after 16 years of iPhone dominance.
Time to try out weird new products again.
And, of course, Nvidia will win no matter which AI device replaces the iPhone. It’s one of my top stocks for 2024.
