Is the joke that they came up with 18 useless features without mentioning USB-C?

How is a based 90s antenna a joke to you? I would take it anytime over some weird USB-C!

I used to have a phone which allowed me to plug an external antenna into the USB port.

I sorely miss that.

Broken for me. Don't see a phone and can't drag pieces. EDIT: In Chrome: Refused to execute script from ' https://neal.fun/_nuxt/pages/design-the-next-iphone/index.a2... ' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not executable, and strict MIME type checking is enabled.

Also didn't work for me, in Safari on macOS.

That was fun. Just like the TLD.

More of this internet please.

Fantastic! But it's missing the most important thing: USB-C

And the 3.5mm Audio

And why is it called USB C anyway? It's not shaped like a C at all!

If you tried it but didn't click the present button you are missing out. It really puts a bow on your design.

If it was a few years back, Jony Ive reading fortune cookies would be great

At first I thought this was kind of "meh" but then I clicked over on the "components" list at the bottom. Dear god, I just spent the last 5 minutes giggling and adding absurd things to the phone. I absolutely love this.

No other industrial design affordance says "you're holding it wrong" like spinning blades.
