Could your next phone screen be wood instead of glass? Probably not, but it’s something that could be coming, as Pickr explains on ABC Adelaide.

A crazy idea could be gracing a phone in the near future, as transparent wood is made to replace glass. First windows, and then potentially phones and other devices? That could happen, as Pickr’s editor Leigh Stark discussed with ABC’s Rory McClaren on ABC Adelaide Mornings this week.

That wasn’t all the two spoke about. Questions about phones and batteries popped up, as well as a super slim smartphone, what Apple is doing in accessibility, and how AI could make ads on streaming platforms worse than ever.
