    I think that we’ve reached the peak of that form factor. Every real change will have to deviate so much that we wouldn’t call it smartphone any more.

      Indeed. The issue for these companies. If phones aren’t enticing enough and people start hanging onto devices for an extra year that effecticely cuts their revenue in 1/4.

      That’s why icloud got more expensive, it’s why google is trying to monetise your web history for ads. They’re looking for further revenue.

      But the little assistants could be so much better.

      Like I want to ask Siri to do complicated tasks. Make me a reservation. Find a picture of a cow and send it to Jeff. Change my background to StarCraft. Stuff like that.

        I’m happy as long as Siri doesn’t get worse like Alexa, who will turn on a fan in another room when I say “Alexa, turn on the fan” but if I say turn off the fan it turns off the correct one.

      My complaint is with the bulky camera island - barely sticks out on my 11 pro, would like to see smg similar in the future (without a loss in wuality of course)
