  • Folding iPhone & under-screen Face ID rumored arrival date pushed back -- again

    If this report is true, (a huge IF) a folding iPhone would be the first major design change since 2007 and the original 4GB iPhone. Yes, Apple has lost it, they've been riding the Ghost of Steve Jobs influence ever since.

  • iPhone 16 Pro Max demand high, everything else match iPhone 15

    You know what would really disrupt things? Suppose you could plug your iPhone into a USB-C cable on a dock and you get a basic desktop experience. Wireless keyboard and mouse, and a display of your choice. Nothing too complicated, web surfing, emails, watching videos. No gaming, and no desktop publishing. Possibly basic photo editing with the photos app, but no Photoshop. Think about how many fewer devices you would have to carry around. I understand why Apple wouldn't do it, but wouldn't it be awesome if that was possible?

    I appreciate your idea but don’t think I like the idea of my phone being “one stop shopping” for everything and my only device.  I realize your comment says it would be limited, but you know what will happen,  users will want more and more.
    Such a thing could make the phone less stable and have people wanting antivirus on their phones.  Do you want that?  I don’t.

      I like separation of phone and laptop\desktop.   Back in the 20th century I remember hearing the idea of Windows NT and its “roaming” profile will change everything.  Your desktop will be there,  no matter where you log in.  It never really worked or took off, at least for the company I work for.

    If Apple users want "more & more" then Apple would be happy to sell them an iPad or a full blown Mac. Back in the 20th, I was scanning hundreds of photos and making clipping paths by hand in Photoshop for a bunch of retail magazines on a Mac IIci. Today, I have two phones, an iPad, and a laptop, and that's just my 'work' tools. Look, if you're right, Apple makes a new i-device, we make a new iOS/macOS version of ClamAV and clean up! Then we carry one device all the way to the bank.
