Now THIS is creative!

This is both just really impressive and futuristic feeling from a tech perspective. Works perfectly in Firefox! Can't believe that has to be said these days.

And from a FUN and creative perspective the possibilities are endless. I'm reminded of the Simpsons where Homer designs a car and it's an impracticable monstrosity. I just added a full HDMI port to the iPhone, so I feel like I'm halfway there!

Really well done!

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?

He says nothing. He's not reading this.

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.

My new iPhone 14 has an antenna AND a steering wheel.

Am I the only one who opened the tool and thought: "this, this is perfect, add nothing!"? Why isn't there a phone yet with no ports or power plugs of any kind (wireless charging and software power/reset), flush rear camera, hidden front camera? It feels like that's the inevitable end of the current evolutionary tree, and all the technology is there and reasonably economical.

> software power/reset

And if your software hangs? Hard buttons are a nice safety. Even one can be wired to some simple microcontroller that'll power cycle the entire device is held for 30 sec or some such thing. Doing it via a much more complex interface (touch, etc) isn't as foolproof

I did not say this. I am not here.

Googly eyes!! I never realized how important googly eyes are. They make everything more user friendly. They should definitely be an FCC requirement.

Agreed! My only complaint with this webapp is that the Googly eyes don't jiggle when you rotate the phone.
