Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

Tim, would you please make sure the right people approve my app? I just sent for approval a wicked cool app that makes old phones new. And, as we know every old phone is a new phone about to be purchased - wink, wink! So, here is the app I am introducing for August 2022 - Down Time, only for new iPhones. Down Time monitors all phone inputs, sensors, and the like - all when the phone is "down". This allows the Powerfu…

Sorry IncRnd, your app has been rejected on the grounds that it duplicates functionality of a core (about to be) included app. Apple's Relax Time does this, and will be out on the next release.

P.S. We cross-our-hearts-promise we didn't just start this after we read your submission, and have been working on this for months, if not years. Hell, I'm sure we can find some email or memo from the prior decade that seems relevant if you press us.

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.

Why do you even need the brick? My design directly link your neurons to the cloud. Upload 3D vision, done. Connect to google maps, done. Call your mom, having a conversation without speaking aloud, done. iBrain. Think different. Directly download to your brain, from a brain near you. Soon.

Meh.

With iMaL Apple knows what you'll be thinking before your neurons do.

An extra brain but without the squishy mess. And with thousands of videos of brightly coloured middle class people smiling to jaunty music.

Forever.

Are you ready to think different, like billions of other users?

Only $99.99 a month. (But you already knew that.)

Please update this with a mini-usb port or firewire port, just to troll.

I would like to have a DB-25 serial port on my phone, but I'm willing to compromise. Give me a 9-pin and I'll grudgingly carry around an adapter.

Oh dear, I just realized you could 3D-print a viable phone case with one at the bottom without too much of a bezel ._.

okey dokey that's enough awake for me today, time to go to sleep I think lol

Awww, on my old(ish) laptop this is throwing

  10:00:39.093 WebGL: INVALID_OPERATION: useProgram: program not valid
  10:00:39.093 WebGL: INVALID_OPERATION: drawArrays: no valid shader program in use
Yeah I think this requires WebGL 2 :(

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.

The all new Satellite Television Phone from Apple, with power-through-HDMI and long physical antenna for added reception.
