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.

Googly eyes!! I never realized how important googly eyes are. They make everything more user friendly.

They should definitely be an FCC requirement.

I clicked present without adding anything, my design uses a telepathic interface, you simply think about it. If you see something, the image is transferred to the memory and uploaded to the cloud by simply desiring that occur. No microphone or earphones are needed, no Bluetooth. I call it the tiPhone it will be out in 2031, place your pre-orders now.

I know hn frowns on this type of comment but you really should have called he the psiPhone.

I mustered the courage to add two headphone jacks ($200 a pop).

How much the first iMac was? It must've been $600 for just the headphone jacks.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Slap the lighting port in the middle of the screen, so you can't use it while charging.

We've been thinking hard about how we all navigate our expanding digital lives, and we at Apple think the greatest breakthroughs can only occur when we really take time to sit, consider and recharge. In 2017 we introduced Screen Time, a revolutionary way to track your digital usage, putting you in control. This year, we're going one step further and we're excited to announce Recharge Time, only for iPhone 15.

Hey Tim Apple,

You still owe me a fn Macbook Pro because my "recharge time" included my machine bursting into flames on my bed, and the machine was under recall for bursting into flames, and you refused to replace the machine that burst into flames as stated by the recall, and nearly killed me, could have burned down a house, because of the "moisture sensor"

What say you, Tim Apple?

One thing I'm missing that I'm still amazed the iPhone lacks: an under-screen fingerprint scanner. Behind-the-screen cameras are not ready for prime time, but surely Apple can please the fingerprint fans quite easily? They can even pretend they invented it by placing it on a weird position and saying it's revolutionary because no iPhone user has probably ever seen it before.

My Moto Z4 has an under-screen fingerprint scanner, and I absolutely positively refuse to ever have a smartphone without such scanner. It is the best possible placement.
