Then iPhone is a phone capable of computing.
- leptons 2y agoIt's a computing device with a phone peripheral.
- mantas 2y agoJust like computing device with washing machine peripherals.
- leptons 2y agoNot so sure I agree. In the case of an iPhone, the making of voice calls is probably a small amount of all use cases for the device, it's more so a computing device with a phone peripheral. But a washing machine's main function is to wash, and the computer controlling it is really secondary to its main function. The computer could be removed and it wohld still be essentially the same function with relays and timers. If you take the computer out of the iphone and replace it with relays and such to control the "phone" part of it, then it wouldn't resemble an iphone at all, and have virtually none of the functionality that an iphone has.
- wiseowise 2y agoIt’s a simple theory to prove. Take away phone part and how many people would use an iPhone? Given how ubiquitous modern messengers are I’d say between 80 to 95% would still use it. Take away washing part and how many people would use washing machine? Therefore iPhone is a computing device with phone peripheral and washing machine is a washing machine machine with computing capability.
- wiseowise 2y agoYou’ve decided to ignore the part where the guy who invented it said it is capable of “desktop class applications”, I see.
