And the 3.5mm Audio
pfft - 3.5mm is for amateurs, the iPhone Pro Max should have XLR or 1/4in at least ;)
Don't forget phono input!

Slap the lighting port in the middle of the screen, so you can't use it while charging.
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.
As someone who owns dozens of devices with both USB-C and Lightning ports, I find the Lightning port to be significantly superior to USB-C. It is much easier to plug in due to the curves on the sides, easier to plug out, holds in place more strongly, and the port lasts much longer. Why do you call it “godawful”?

i have to own and keep one around literally only for charging my keyboard and mouse, that alone makes it awful

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.
Please don't cheapen manga by associating it with the most valuable tech companies in the world. I don't need that crowding my search results.
Re: Design the next iPhone
#305Apple excels in marketing a useless slab of junk. I am surprised how many people falling for it, swear by the "ownership experience"
There are fewer downsides to the iphone for me. That's all there is to it. If Android polished their corners a bit more and more manufacturers offered better quality handsets with stock or near-stock android, and better post-sales support, then they'd be in the running.

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.
What about making the power button recessed like on Sony Xperias? If you're really worried about camera ergonomics, you can even add a dedicated shutter button. The "focus on half press" feature might be overkill for the iPhone camera system though.

#307I 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.
The comic Paper Girls by Bryan K Vaughn beat you by this much . The device is on the last page of: https://imagecomics.com/read/paper-girls
Ooh, intrigued, my interest in graphic literature awakened. TY.

#308I wonder if apple will use this in the future, maybe even use customer input to redesign their products. I dont think so, but i wonder what kind of weird designs that would result in

The single factor that makes it awful is that no one else uses it aside from Apple, so I have to have multiple cords of two different types around the house. Annoying!
