Design the next iPhone
- dimitrios1 4y agoHow many of us added a border of notches around the entire phone and filled the backside with cameras? Or was that just me?
- 0xbadcafebee 4y agoCan I make mine without a screen? Actually serious.
- smoldesu 4y agoIs the joke that they came up with 18 useless features without mentioning USB-C?
- 88840-8855 4y agoHow is a based 90s antenna a joke to you? I would take it anytime over some weird USB-C!
- KMnO4 4y agoI used to have a phone which allowed me to plug an external antenna into the USB port. I sorely miss that.
- alanbernstein 4y agoMoto g phones used headphone cables as FM antennas. Not sure if they still do though.
- lkois 4y agoAnd why is it called USB C anyway? It's not shaped like a C at all!
- incahoots 4y agoIt's 2 Cs touching each other!
- travisgriggs 4y agoEasy there. Kids may read this.
- can16358p 4y agoUseless? I use the quadcopter features of my iPhone everyday after driving home... with iPhone's steering wheel.
- smoldesu 4y agoI didn't mean to offend anyone, I don't even know how you're supposed to take the thing with you without the Pro Handle. Just wish there was a good way to plug it into my other devices...
- can16358p 4y agoAdd an Apple logo middle of the screen and it will connect to all Apple devices magically using dark witchcraft. Add an Android logo and boom, you now connect to almost all smartphones. Whatever you do... do not touch the pear logo.
- slimsag 4y agoThat's fair, but you have to admit - the triple headphone jack, side-facing cameras, and dual power buttons (for 2x the power) were nice touches.
- kretaceous 4y agoThis is so lame. Apple would never allow a 3.5mm jack even in a parody app. (j/k, fun stuff as always by Neal)
- seydor 4y agoWinter is coming here in Europe. Having a phone with FM receiver is going to be very useful.
- aaaaaaaaata 4y agoAh c'mon, don't do that, we were just starting to enjoy ourselves in here!
- seydor 4y agoa few power cuts is not the end of the world
- roozbeh18 4y agosay no more https://imgur.com/a/1v1emWj https://imgur.com/a/1v1emWj
- seydor 4y agoVery nice. Mine includes a crown wheel for winding https://i.imgur.com/1iYysR6.png https://i.imgur.com/1iYysR6.png
- harrisonjackson 4y agoIf you tried it but didn't click the present button you are missing out. It really puts a bow on your design.
- seydor 4y agoIf it was a few years back, Jony Ive reading fortune cookies would be great
- roozbeh18 4y ago"This isn't just an upgrade, its a breakthrough"
- insightcheck 4y ago[SPOILERS] If you click "Present" lots of times, there are other variations too: "These are the best iPhones we've ever created." "Wow, what an amazing day!" "This is a big upgrade!"
- Ninjinka 4y agoBroken for me. Don't see a phone and can't drag pieces. EDIT: In Chrome: Refused to execute script from 'https://neal.fun/_nuxt/pages/design-the-next-iphone/index.a2d4ebd.js https://neal.fun/_nuxt/pages/design-the-next-iphone/index.a2...' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not executable, and strict MIME type checking is enabled.
- barsonme 4y agoYou should mention which browser and OS you're using. Otherwise, your comment isn't very useful.
- cianmm 4y agoIt didn't work in Safari for me, but did in Chrome.
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- Kamogo 4y agoHi creator here, what browser/OS are you on?
- Ninjinka 4y agoWindows 10, Chrome 104.0.5112.82
- kemayo 4y agoAlso didn't work for me, in Safari on macOS.
- laszlokorte 4y agoThis needs a way to share the results!
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- latexr 4y agoPresent (top right) → Download video (bottom centre).
- laszlokorte 4y agoOh, the button does not show up for me :(
- slimginz 4y agoLooks to be a Firefox thing. I just tested in both Chrome and Safari and the download link was there. Not in Firefox tho
- lxe 4y agoEverything from Neal Agrawal brings much-needed whimsy into the world.
- erikig 4y agoI have spent so much time on https://neal.fun/rocks/ https://neal.fun/rocks/ that I should be a little embarrassed, yet I'm so calm and I've had so much fun, I'm not.
- ClassyJacket 4y agoFantastic! But it's missing the most important thing: USB-C
- OrvalWintermute 4y agoAnd the 3.5mm Audio
- TazeTSchnitzel 4y agoHeadphone jack is in the components list, keep scrolling!
- erikig 4y agopfft - 3.5mm is for amateurs, the iPhone Pro Max should have XLR or 1/4in at least ;)
- WUMBOWUMBO 4y ago
- Daneel_ 4y agoDon't forget phono input!
- CameronNemo 4y agoEven in our imagination our iPhones don't have USB-C!
- mortenjorck 4y agoThere is one part that does exist on real iPhones but isn't in the parts palette: a speaker grille. Even with Pro Wheels and a Pro Handle, your breakthrough iPhone will be silent! (Unless you send audio out one of the broad selection of ports available.)
- 4y ago
- preinheimer 4y agoThat was fun. Just like the TLD. More of this internet please.
- hk__2 4y agoThere are a lot of similar games on the same website: https://neal.fun/ https://neal.fun/
- aaaaaaaaata 4y ago"Draw popular logos" was a laugh. Post the code so someone can put a score to it!
- seydor 4y agoGreat! How do I print it?
- thenthenthen 4y agoLike kicad plot, bom, gerbers, drill holes, i agree!
- factorialboy 4y agoWhere USB-C?
- brk 4y agoYou can add a rotary dial, copter blades, and wheels. But a USB-C is too silly even for a parody, that is just taking it too far.
- function_seven 4y agoPull Request: Add more items to the feature palette: USB-C (TB3), USB-C (DP2.0), USB-C (PD), USB-C (TB & DP2, no PD), USB-C (DP2 and PD, no TB), USB-C (HDMI) Only one graphic/model needed for all of them, so this PR should be easy.
- joshstrange 4y agoAt 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.
- A4ET8a8uTh0 4y agoThe 'pro handle' moment. I genuinely needed this pick up today.
- pathartl 4y agoI would love to see price tags added to them as well. Wheels? $100. Handle? $50. Pro handle? $1000. Edit: It does update price, but I'd like an itemized list
- sdflhasjd 4y agoSlap the lighting port in the middle of the screen, so you can't use it while charging.
- bongobingo1 4y agoWe'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.
- samstave 4y agoHey Tim Apple, You still owe me a fn Macbook Pro because my "recharge time" included my machine bursting into flames on my bed, and the machine was under recall for bursting into flames, and you refused to replace the machine that burst into flames as stated by the recall, and nearly killed me, could have burned down a house, because of the "moisture sensor" What say you, Tim Apple?
- neilv 4y agoNo other industrial design affordance says "you're holding it wrong" like spinning blades.
- quickthrower2 4y ago“You were holding it wrong”
- CarVac 4y ago"you're not supposed to hold it at all"
- imd_xyz 4y agoOnly thing I’d change is moving the volume buttons to the right side with the power button. The number of times I’ve taken a screenshot trying to un/lock with my left index finger is astronomically high. And USB-C.
- closetohome 4y agoOr putting the power button back on the top. Or going back to the iPhone 5's round volume buttons. Both the placement and shape of the buttons leads to accidental presses and the inability to easily identify them by feel. Almost anything would be an improvement.
- mulmen 4y agoAlso try actually using the level.
- cainxinth 4y agoAnyone else try to figure out what the reflection texture is? I think it's Apple Park.
- mminer237 4y agoIt definitely is: https://neal.fun/design-the-next-iphone/cubemap/pz.png https://neal.fun/design-the-next-iphone/cubemap/pz.png
- hundchenkatze 4y agoYep, it's Apple Park.

- zw123456 4y agoI 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.
- jxy 4y agoWhy 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.
- zw123456 4y agoHehe, you one upped me for sure :) We are joking around of course, but sometimes interesting innovation comes from weird ponderings. I have an experimental cloud phone that has no CPU and uses an FPGA to directly transfer data from a VM in the cloud to the screen. It works, even on 4G but better on 5G. Also, I have been experimenting with transparent OLED. My dream would be a device completely cloud based, and hence, unlimited processing and storage. The back of the transparent display would be optical sensors and it would use computational imaging in the cloud, no lenses needed. The audio who knows, MEMS I suppose. I think the technology exists; would anyone want such a thing? Who knows, we have seen things like that in sci-fi movies of course.
- wingmanjd 4y agoI think the volume and power button labels are reversed.
- racl101 4y agoNeed a cupholder component.
- crazygringo 4y agoKeep scrolling. It's there.
- schainks 4y agoPlease update this with a mini-usb port or firewire port, just to troll.
- function_seven 4y agoI 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.
- modeless 4y agoThe best joke is that it doesn't have USB-C.
- slantedview 4y agoNo notch, rounded edges, and the rest is just gravy.
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- renonce 4y agoThe components used seems to affect your starting price as well.
- jscipione 4y agoI just wish it had no notch.
- tomxor 4y agoI'm sure they could add a no-notch option (for $200).
- insane_dreamer 4y agoDefinitely bringing back the iPod-style click-wheel
- travisgriggs 4y agoI wish the "Present" feature would make my copter blades slowly rotate. But it's all genius.
- aliljet 4y agoThis is really a cool little interface. How was this made! I want to learn!
- rabuse 4y agoIt's made with three.js
- anta40 4y agoHmmm... pro handle? joystick? steering wheel? Copter blade? why? WHYYY???? :D
- xtreme 4y agoIf you ever find yourself asking "WHY???", the answer is probably "Why not?"
- nurumaik 4y agoIt needs "view in AR" button
- aceazzameen 4y agoNot only did I add a headphone jack to mine, but I added 5 more of them! This is awesome.
- quickthrower2 4y agoHow else are you going to record your band’s music?
- bombcar 4y agoAn iPad that can be a digital mixer without the external box hmmm
- SllX 4y agoI put one right at the top of the phone smack dab in the center just underneath the handle. I think users are really going to love it.
- pmcollins 4y agoI put the power button at the top so that I don't accidentally take a screenshot when I want to change the volume. Somebody please give me a design job at Apple. I still don't understand why Apple moved the power button to the side opposite the volume buttons.
- stavros 4y agoAren't the power and volume buttons switched there? The long one is volume, no?
- hugi 4y agoHeh. Incidentally I just finished my weekly "delete all the accidental screenshots" session.
- plugin-baby 4y agoEngagement with the screenshot function has really improved since that button was moved, and someone somewhere got a nice promotion.
- cafed00d 4y agoIf this were Google where PMs ran feature development willy-nilly, then I bet this would've been true. Luckily, Apple's design team still has enough pull; so the MBAs haven't taken over everything.
- xadhominemx 4y agoIt’s really funny you think the MBAs have less sway at Apple than Google. Apple is a penny-pinching company literally run by a supply chain exec with a Duke MBA. Google is a freewheeling engineer-led culture with zero interest in cost control.
- solardev 4y agoCan it be both? The engineers create a new chat app every year, then the MBAs take it over next year and "optimize" it into the ground and all the engineers flee, but that's ok because the cycle will repeat shortly.
- DelaneyM 4y agoAm I the only one who opened the tool and thought: "this, this is perfect, add nothing!"? Why isn't there a phone yet with no ports or power plugs of any kind (wireless charging and software power/reset), flush rear camera, hidden front camera? It feels like that's the inevitable end of the current evolutionary tree, and all the technology is there and reasonably economical.
- WithinReason 4y agoMeizu Zero
- adolph 4y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod_Shuffle#3rd_generation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod_Shuffle#3rd_generation (which somehow had a 3.5mm audio jack...)
- zw123456 4y agoI posted that farther down in the thread. Yes, I thought the same thing. Sorry for the repetition, but this is a little dream of mine. I have an experimental cloud phone that has no CPU and uses an FPGA to directly transfer data from a VM in the cloud to the screen. It works, even on 4G but better on 5G. Also, I have been experimenting with transparent OLED. My dream would be a device completely cloud based, and hence, unlimited processing and storage. The back of the transparent display would be optical sensors and it would use computational imaging in the cloud, no lenses needed. The audio who knows, MEMS I suppose. it would look like just a simple pane of glass
- teucris 4y agoI love how there is a copter blade and a rotary dial but no USB options of any kind.
- cosmiccatnap 4y agoEven in a fantasy I can't get usbc
- antioppressor 4y agoNo wonder the design head was axed. The phone is like a Porsche. Looks the same since its inception. They are in constant angst mode about the looks, ooh what will happen if we make drastical changes... so it will stay and look the same. They don't want to disturb the cash cow. But of course it gets pricier year after year. Design iterations and UI is something like this: Look we've changed the window's bezel by 1 and a half pixels, now it's much better. 3 generations later: we changed it back the way it was, retro style, wow! Now everyone APPLAUD the CHANGES and hand over the money!
- johndhi 4y agoTim Cook jumping on screen killed me
- przemub 4y agoI love how adding an Apple logo adds $200 but adding an Android one subtracts $100 :D
- thefourthchime 4y agoI thought you were kidding at first, it totally does!
- grishka 4y agoLmao. Add enough of them and you've got a free phone! https://imgur.com/4RhzomQ https://imgur.com/4RhzomQ
- b-lee 4y agoReputation is earned. And it’s worth
- EugeneOZ 4y agoiPhone 13 Pro Max is less expensive than Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.
- supernova87a 4y agoHow fun! And did anyone else notice in the reflection of the metal band what room (like what virtual place the camera is located) you're shown designing this in?
- mulmen 4y agoI put the volume and power buttons on the same side but then made sure to put the cupholder just under them so you can have a picture of every instant you hit a pothole. In a future version of iOS Apple will share your iCloud photo library with your municipal road department. They can correlate these screenshots to dispatch repair crews. I'm sure this protects children somehow. A Pro Handle would actually be pretty nice though, especially if it could be stowed like the antenna.
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]

- bombcar 4y agoRemind me to sneak googly eyes on the bottoms of the apple wireless mice …
- smm11 4y agoJust copy the latest Galaxy.
- garysahota93 4y agoWhere is the USB-C option? lol
- notum 4y agoEven the fantasy dreamland design tool doesn't have an USB-C option.
- aendruk 4y agoMissing: removable battery, USB-C port, microSD card slot, dual SIM card tray, speaker and microphone(s), ear proximity sensor and/or face scanner I’m assuming the home button can function as a rear fingerprint reader.
- TheJoeMan 4y agoGranted. The internals now take up so much space only a 500mA battery can fit and the phone lasts 2 hours on a charge.
- aendruk 4y ago“Missing” from TFA which includes a propeller and cup holder. Half of the list is in existing iPhones today.
- boogies 4y agoMy Pinephone has all those features except the dual SIM card tray, and the battery’s capacity is rated 2,800mAh / typical 3,000mAh. The fact that it can burn through that in as little as an hour if held just right (with max brightness, volume, and load on the GPU, CPU, RAM, and separate modem CPU with the default nonfree, inefficient firmware; and not using the separately sold keyboard case with 6,000 more mAh) is a great incentive to limit its addictive effects.
- _ea1k 4y agoWhere's the button to make it unapologetically polycarbonate?
- tomxor 4y agoI'll stick to the old pulse dialing tech on mine: https://imgur.com/a/0I8Ng0s https://imgur.com/a/0I8Ng0s
- swyx 4y agoi was so delighted to find it has a video export but Twitter is not letting me tweet the video - as far as i can tell this fits under all their requirements - anyone else have the same problem? Edit: ah you just have to run it through one of these things https://clideo.com/editor/resize-video https://clideo.com/editor/resize-video
- jbombadil 4y agoI started being silly and just adding wheels and whatnot. Then at some point I decided to try to build exactly the phone I'd like. Turns out it's pretty close to the current iPhones, except: * Replace the apple logo on the back with the touchId/home button. It can still be shaped like an apple, but please let it read my fingerprint. * Move the power button to the top. * Change the lightning port to USB-C (not designed here) That's... it. It's really not that much, but it would make such an improvement.
- CivBase 4y agoI did the same thing but with two changes: * Home button doubles as the power button (press and hold) * Headphone jack at the top
- the_other 4y ago> Headphone jack at the top You're putting it in your pocket wrong.
- CivBase 4y agoHeh, I guess. My last two phones had the jack at the top, so it's instinctively where I put it. I do like being able to rest it on a surface while holding it vertically with an audio cable connected. But charging it at the same time from the other end is a little weird. I guess in an ideal world I'd put both ports at the top, but I don't think that's what you were going for :)
- bombcar 4y agoTop is the right place unless the fone flips itself. Or playing audio in a car is a pain. Even keeping a phone charged in a car is annoying now.
- nomel 4y agoI put my phone into my pocket with the same orientation that it's in my hand, while using it. Hold phone, rotate arm down, stick in pocket. The phone is now upside down in my pocket. If the headphone jack were on the top, you would have to flip your phone first, when putting it in or pulling it out.
- uncharted9 4y agoI was trying hard to search ways to share the video and found out that the "Download video" button is only visible in Chrome or Safari and not Firefox. I love everything about Neal's site but I wish supporting the three major web browser engines shouldn't be the big deal. I've seen the writing on the wall now and I should probably jump ships off FF to anything based on chromium.
- icemelt8 4y agoHow can i down vote
- londons_explore 4y agoHere we vote based on whether the comment adds anything to the discussion, not whether you agree with it.
- uncharted9 4y ago
- grzm 4y agoYou need karma > 500.
- imwillofficial 4y agoMy iPhone had a centerline antenna, googly eyes and a click wheel. I can now die in peace, all is right with the world.
- jeroenhd 4y agoOne thing I'm missing that I'm still amazed the iPhone lacks: an under-screen fingerprint scanner. Behind-the-screen cameras are not ready for prime time, but surely Apple can please the fingerprint fans quite easily? They can even pretend they invented it by placing it on a weird position and saying it's revolutionary because no iPhone user has probably ever seen it before.
- Andrew_nenakhov 4y agoMy 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.
- dsr_ 4y agoIt's okay, but on the back in an indent is better.
- Andrew_nenakhov 4y agoAbsolutely 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.
- CamperBob2 4y agoProbably blocked by somebody else's patent.
- jeroenhd 4y agoIf it is then surely Apple can spare the money to buy a license or they can buy the components themselves from a licensed manufacturer. There are many brands that include under screen fingerprint scanners, I don't see why Apple couldn't be one of them.
- bombcar 4y ago
- matt-by-nature 4y agoThe available options just keep escalating. Brilliant.
- gsanderson 4y agoSimply excellent. I finally removed the notch.
- dendrite9 4y agoI added a notch on each side in the lower half. One for power and one for volume.
- rchaud 4y agoNow THIS is creative! This is both just really impressive and futuristic feeling from a tech perspective. Works perfectly in Firefox! Can't believe that has to be said these days. And from a FUN and creative perspective the possibilities are endless. I'm reminded of the Simpsons where Homer designs a car and it's an impracticable monstrosity. I just added a full HDMI port to the iPhone, so I feel like I'm halfway there! Really well done!
- monopoliessuck 4y agoPerfectly? There's no "download video" button on Firefox, but there is one on Chrome. Looks like the minified source is checking the userAgent in a few spots. I don't know if that's genuinely an issue with Firefox's canvas to mp4 support or something, but it's not completely one to one unfortunately. I agree though, it is creative and entertaining regardless.

- achenatx 4y agoIm looking for a phone with no or limited screen that is as small as possible that has very long battery life. It could connect wired/wireless to video glasses, handheld screens, TVs, or whatever for video. It could connect to headphones, cars, etc for audio. IO could be done on the screens, finger sensors for gestures, voice command, or even neural commands. essentially remove the screen from the phone and let me choose a visual IO method based on my needs.
- clairity 4y agothat's apple's long term goal, to realize pervasive personal computing. that's why they released siri, airpods, the watch, and faceID (and even the future glasses), as waypoints to that exact future. they probably won't get rid of screens, but will minimize their use over time.

- doodlebugging 4y agoUnfortunately this does not have the option that I would like to see. The perfect new Apple phone would be one that serves the cheap-ass bastard market or the market for people who aren't interested in carrying a computer in their pocket. I present to you all the concept for a simple Apple flip phone (iFlipper). It does all the basic communications functions - text, HD single front and rear camera, voice calls and recording - has a long-life replaceable battery, basic keyboard, and a 2"x3" (50mm x 76 mm) HD screen. With this phone they could own the market for cheap, durable phones that can serve as company-issued phones for employees who need to stay connected but don't need to dink around with computing anything on their phones. Basic apps would allow time tracking, location tracking, text and pdf document reading and editing, simple spreadsheet creation and updating for customer invoicing, and note-taking and appointment management apps. Some of that ends up sounding like a computer but compared to all the things you can do with a normal smart phone, we can dumb things down and still have great phones with broad market appeal. You could even call them iDumb if you like.
- amelius 4y agoThat would not work for Apple because the iPhone is basically a vending machine in your pocket. Owned by Apple.
- CharlesW 4y agoOn the contrary it would work perfectly for Apple, which still makes most of its money from hardware sales.
- spideymans 4y agoThe 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.
- debugnik 4y agoI vote for MANGA.
- pwpw 4y agoThis is a great use for three.js. I've been actively learning it and am excited to see it in the wild.

- irrational 4y agoWhere is the option to make it doubly thick to fit a huge battery inside?
- Koshkin 4y agoJust switched to an iPhone (SE) after, well, an eternity with Android, love it so far…
- mrweasel 4y agoSadly I think it will be the last iPhone with a home button. Interestingly enough the site doesn't allow you to create a bigger bezel, so you have a place to put your home button.
- bgdkbtv 4y agoI took it seriously when adding elements from the first page of the elements slider. Then... I scrolled to other pages with other available components and my sides went into the orbit.
- Waterluvian 4y agoSure, but how do I make it thinner?
- mchusma 4y agoNo USB-C option that I could see. I currently have an Android with USB-C and a MacBook Air and having the same port for both devices is so luxurious when traveling. This plus an Anker charger/ battery hybrid means I never run out of juice and travel light. https://www.anker.com/products/a1651 https://www.anker.com/products/a1651 (no affiliation just a fan)
- scarface74 4y agoA $14 cable that has USB A and USB C on one end and USB C and lightning on the other. It does data at USB-A speeds and power up to 60W https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092ZT8CJ9 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092ZT8CJ9? Unfortunately, because of the shit show of the USB C “standard”, it’s far from universal. It doesn’t do video over USB C for my portable USB C monitor, doesn’t do 10Gbps data nor does it do 100W charging for my MacBook Pro 16. For that you need this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093YVRHMB https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093YVRHMB
- whitelabrat 4y agoHeadphone jack. Mine will have that.
- pvinis 4y agoOh noooo you can't share creations? I wanna see what people make and share my amazing/terrifying creatuons!
- fb03 4y agoBummer. I tried adding Temple OS to mine but couldn't find that option
- exikyut 4y agoAwww, 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 :(
- mikewarot 4y agoI had stereo cameras on both sides, headphone jack, power, mute and volume buttons... along with the HOME button. 8)
- stereoradonc 4y agoApple excels in marketing a useless slab of junk. I am surprised how many people falling for it, swear by the "ownership experience"
- thebitstick 4y agoI am a happy iPhone user after switching from Android 2 years ago after using the platform since it existed.
- Daneel_ 4y agoThere 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.
- mosmn 4y agohahaha this is cool
- andrew_ 4y agoFingerprint scanner on the side please, ala Galaxy S10e.
- hessan 4y agoI 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
- mcqueenjordan 4y agoFun little easter egg: In the reflective elements, you can see the reflection of an image. I believe the image to be a panoramic aerial photo of the 1 Infinite Loop Apple Campus in Cupertino, CA.
- saagarjha 4y agoIt's Apple Park.
- lucb1e 4y agoBuilding windows in both Transport Fever 2 and Derail Valley show the same cityscape in their reflection if I'm not mistaken. Also if the building is in front of a tree or middle of nowhere. Kinda cheap imo, but apparently few enough people notice that they don't care to make it better, so I also feel a little special.
- 7kmph 4y agoNo BB keyboard?

- arendtio 4y agoHow do I change the software?
- rekabis 4y agoI would love to see an entry-level-spec, large-screen version for seniors and those with vision issues where high resolution is next to useless. No-one seems to be building such a phone, probably because most people in their 70s and above either don’t have a cell phone, or still rock a low-tech flip phone with physical buttons. My own father (83 this year) would love a low-resolution screen the size of the iPhone Pro Max, just without the bells and whistles and “Pro” aspect of the Max. Hell, if the iPad mini could be turned into a fully-functional cell phone without relying on VoIP hacks, he’d likely jump at that.
