I posted that farther down in the thread. Yes, I thought the same thing. Sorry for the repetition, but this is a little dream of mine. I have an experimental cloud phone that has no CPU and uses an FPGA to directly transfer data from a VM in the cloud to the screen. It works, even on 4G but better on 5G. Also, I have been experimenting with transparent OLED. My dream would be a device completely cloud based, and henc…
that sounds absolutely horrid, imagine scrolling and then your display jumps to 200ms or your cloud provider drops you and your phone is bricked
Ah no, not with edge compute, think MEC. Nope, I have a test VM on wavelength, under 4ms over 5G :)

Absolute nightmare fuel. I would pay a lot to never have a device like this. I want more control over my hardware and software, not less. I want less connection to or dependence on any sort of ‘cloud’. Give me liberty or give me a dumbphone.
Hmm, ok, fair enough.
good feedback. TY

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?
Surely if the moisture sensor was on that would have put out the fire?
Ill just put this next to the rest of the fire.

#226At 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.
Slap the lighting port in the middle of the screen, so you can't use it while charging.
Two lightning ports on the screen, so you can charge and listen to music with your audiophile IEMs at the same time
Re: Design the next iPhone
#227I started being silly and just adding wheels and whatnot. Then at some point I decided to try to build exactly the phone I'd like. Turns out it's pretty close to the current iPhones, except: * Replace the apple logo on the back with the touchId/home button. It can still be shaped like an apple, but please let it read my fingerprint. * Move the power button to the top. * Change the lightning port to USB-C (not designe…
Out of curiosity, why would you move the power button to the top? I remember this was the configuration for the old iPod Touch, but with the power button along the side, it's easier to press the power button with your thumb in one-handed use.
It's way too easy to press it by accident on the side. You can't use the volume buttons to take phots without twisting your hand into some special shape whilst the power button is on the side. It should return to the top.

I did the same thing but with two changes: * Home button doubles as the power button (press and hold) * Headphone jack at the top
> Headphone jack at the top
You're putting it in your pocket wrong.

#229Missing: removable battery, USB-C port, microSD card slot, dual SIM card tray, speaker and microphone(s), ear proximity sensor and/or face scanner I’m assuming the home button can function as a rear fingerprint reader.
Granted. The internals now take up so much space only a 500mA battery can fit and the phone lasts 2 hours on a charge.

#230Can I make mine without a screen? Actually serious.
