Carl Pei Thinks the Phone of the Future Will Only Have One App

What does creativity mean to you?

Creativity is not just about design, fashion or art, but about solving problems.

Humans have a significant ability to connect different pieces of people to solve new problems. I think software engineers can be extremely creative. Now, in the AI ​​era, human creativity is even more important. In the long run, when humanity becomes a civilization that expands into space, it is creativity that will make our universe more competitive.

That’s why we want to “fun” again to help human creativity inspire human creativity. Personally, I was very inspired by Apple when I was young – first iPod, first iPhone – that’s why I’m in this industry.

But now the creative companies of the past have become very large and very corporate and they are no longer very creative. They are no longer inspired for the younger generation. So we’re trying to bring it back.

We are trying to be very transparent and human in our business effort. For example, if you Watch our YouTube videosYou will see that we try to introduce a team like our designers and software developers, so you can get to know them.

This is the way to do our things and our thoughts. We hope it will encourage more young people to express their creativity.

Carl Pey has long emphasized that he wants to “fun” the technology again.

What is your technique working? How is the business?

Looking back for the last four and a half years, I think it’s working. We face a lot of problems on daily basis, but if we follow the same techniques as other companies, we cannot survive in this industry. We have to be different.

And business Is Growing up rapidly. Last year, we increased by about 150 percent. However, we still have to reach about 0.1% of the global market, so there is more to do.
