iPhones aren't sitting unused in a drawer forgotten like 99% of Flippers. There's nothing differentiating or polished about clicking one button versus clicking a different button to clone an RFID tag. I'd rather have cheapo version of 1 time use gizmos.
- j0hnyl 3y agoIs this really the case? I would think there would be a mobile app interface for flipper?
- filoleg 3y agoYou are correct, there is a mobile app interface for it. You can check firmware version and device status, update it, have access to file manager, can backup keys, read logs, reboot, speed/stress test, and probably do a lot of other things that I am not aware about.
- elliottcarlson 3y agoAny app run on the Flipper Zero can be run and interfaced with from the mobile app. It works quite well.
- cruffle_duffle 3y ago> I would think there would be a mobile app interface for flipper? If you want to interact with the software on flipper zero you have to use the "remote" app (or whatever) on the phone. It kinda sucks though because it literally acts just like the physical device. If you wanna type a filename out and think having a full keyboard like on your phone would make that task easier... it doesn't. You are stuck using the fake "buttons" to move the cursor around to each letter just like you would on the device itself.
- ramraj07 3y agoFor me the appeal of Flipper Zero is the mythical rare day when it becomes useful in an emergency, and until then it can stay in my draw peacefully.
- rvnx 3y agoThere is another possibility: that the Flipper gets an update with the order of a government. For example, to reprogram or shutdown electrical systems in the house. And then it will be a day to remember :D

- a2800276 3y agoOh, come on, you're being ridiculous. It's much more plausible for the flipper to develop consciousness and steal all the tuna in your pantry.
- Gabrys1 3y agoMore likely your smart home app in your phone will do that
- camillomiller 3y agoDesign is way more important than just what things look like. But it contributes to a product's success in ways that are sometimes hard to measure. That's why engineer-driven company don't understand it and engineers (as a sweeping generalization) usually hate it.
