Totally agree. More than happy with the performance. I would worry about it if I can pair a 4K monitor to the iPhone , and it becomes a Mac, or at least an iPad

That would honestly be amazing and probably very feasible with the new chipsets. Imagine having a desktop setup and an "empty" laptop case with slide in dock. Everything in one place. Same system for the iPad. Will probably never happen though because that's less products to sell?

  Microsoft already did that with Continuum. No one used it. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/continuum https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/continuum

    That's because: 1. No one used Windows Phone either 2. The use-case wasn't really clear. "Run Office apps on a regular computer-sized monitor!" I can already do that, using the computer-sized computer connected to my computer-sized monitor. "Setup is simple using Continuum-compatible accessories" So I have to buy a new keyboard/mouse/monitor/something else? (No, but it sounds like I might have to) The pitch was "You can use your phone kind of like a PC, assuming every app you need runs on Windows phone" (which, for almost everyone, is absolutely not the case). If there's one thing Windows phone was famous for, it was not having apps. Essentially, Microsoft was trying to pitch you a feature that let you use a phone + monitor and keyboard as a replacement for some of the apps on your PC. Not a compelling pitch, except for presentations.

    Why did they not use it? Was it that the idea was inherently flawed or that the implementation didn’t live up to the promise? Remember how people said the iPod was just another music player, the iPhone wasn’t much different than earlier touchscreen devices or PDAs, etc.? Circa 1998-1999 I was using a mobile device with a touchscreen and wireless broadband to surf the web and send email while sitting outside. Clearly the idea was good even if Handspring and Ricochet never managed to deliver it with few enough compromises to see mainstream success.

  I would love that! The desktop part could still be another product with a more powerfull cpu and gpu which is using the iphone just as a bootable drive.

  samsung has the "phone to desktop" application for some of its devices. Called "Dex" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_DeX https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_DeX makes sense when these devices are already more powerful (and expensive) than you Raspberry Pi.
