Beta males mumbling about type-c this, buttons that. Replaceable battery... LOL. Here is what real consumers want: https://i.ibb.co/93dbrmJ/IMG-20220823-223304.jpg

I predict a future iPhone will have the entire back of the phone be a (smudgeproof) camera lens

With "fingers cancellation" AI..

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.

It's okay, but on the back in an indent is better.

Absolutely not. You can't unlock it without picking up. Like you are drinking coffee and the phone is resting nearby and then you need to unlock it to see some notification. With front mounted sensor you just gently touch it, and that's it.

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.

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

I’m glad someone had the guts to do it.

I seriously see the endgame of iPhone just being a DSLR that can browse the internet.

On the contrary it would work perfectly for Apple, which still makes most of its money from hardware sales.

The fact that Apple is the only FAANG (MAANG?) company that primarily makes it’s money by producing cool products for people to buy is a terrible indictment on the state of our industry.

I vote for MANGA.

The thing I thought was hilarious is that they put in a zillion funny gadgets, but you can't get a USB-C port instead of that godawful Lightning port.

Charging over hdmi is better anyway.

Just put the headphone jack back on it, then charge via headphone jack like the old ipod shuffles used to!

Seriously though, I still miss the headphone jack :(

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.)

Oh, but if I share all my inner most thoughts and feelings, you say they will pay me $99.99 per month for sharing that information? Oh, I have that backwards, don't I? Eshh, now I suddenly see the light! Thank you! Wink.
