Unfortunately 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.
- SllX 4y agoPlease 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.

- doodlebugging 4y agoLegendary - Nokia. I just bought my first iPhone since my Windows phone (Nokia 900? series) battery finally hit the 6 hours on a full charge point and my carrier is obsoleting all 3G by December.
- highwaylights 4y agoNokia 3210 is a bit before the Windows phones I’m afraid. Greatest version of Snake ever released though!
