ASUS Just Quit Android… Or Did It?

ASUS is effectively pressing pause on Android in 2026, confirming it will launch no new Zenfone or ROG Phone models next year while continuing updates and support for existing devices, reflecting a slowdown after losing Zenfone’s compact identity and shipping just two phones in 2025, though the company insists this is not a full exit. Elsewhere, Tesla continues to struggle in India with just 68 cars sold in December and only 225 units in all of 2025, while TSMC has begun mass production of next-generation 2nm-class chips. Apple is pulling back sharply on Vision Pro after weak demand, halting production, slashing marketing by over 95 percent, and pivoting toward AI-powered wearables and possible smart glasses for 2026. In India, tech hiring is cooling fast with IT job openings down 24 percent year-on-year, even as four major semiconductor plants from Micron, CG Power, Kaynes Technology, and Tata Electronics are set to start production in 2026. Tying it all together, industry leaders like Panos Panay argue we are entering the final phase of traditional smartphone apps, as agentic AI begins taking over everyday tasks without users needing to open apps at all.
