> it _should_ force some hardware advancements

I'm very curious what kind of hardware advancements you're imagining. Because we're already kind of near a physical wall regarding heat dissipation on phones.

I mean hey, maybe foundational physics will surprise the world with a radical breakthrough that disappears heat into a black hole or something, but I sure wouldn't hold my breath

More likely it would force software advancements. Current models are horribly inefficient.
eGPU cradles, presumably, for people with intense local model execution requirements until it can be made to work in the device? This is exactly like the POS dongles Square had until tap to pay was more widespread?
Launch everyone's phones into space.
Heat dissipation is even harder in space
water cooled pant pockets
The iPant? Or a Samsung WCPP1?
