Who Is Resisting GenAI Smartphones and Why?

Ramon T. Llamas — Mon, 03 Nov 2025 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC Survey Spotlight examines results from an IDC survey of 2,034 consumers about their thoughts on generative artificial intelligence (GenAI)–powered smartphones conducted in spring 2025. This IDC Survey Spotlight focuses on two of those questions: What percentage of respondents did not have and would not purchase a GenAI smartphone in the future, and why they were not interested in owning a GenAI smartphone.

"As with most new technologies, resistance is to be expected," points out Ramon T. Llamas, research director with IDC's Mobile Phones team. "That 29.9% of our respondents said that they would not purchase a GenAI smartphone in the future should give vendors pause on how to best position these experiences to promote interest in adoption instead of confusion and resistance. To do this, vendors should concentrate on the leading reason why some consumers are resistant: trust. Given how GenAI pulls so much personal information from multiple sources and uses them to create something new, it is easy to see how some consumers can feel uncomfortable and may want to be in control of the process. At the same time, vendors should also educate consumers about how GenAI works and how it helps save both time and effort."
