lol so no front facing camera and no changes to quality of the cameras.
As if.
If anything. The type of design trends we saw (and largely hated) under Johnny Ive would have continued for longer under Steve.
Phones would likely be thinner and smaller.
That’s really what you took from that statement?
Where does the front facing camera go on an iPhone with no notch and an edge to edge display then?
Underneath the display.
Inb4: “but but no one has executed it well yet”
Yeah, that’s why Apple and Steve Jobs were different. No one had executed touchscreen smartphones well before either.
Yeah. Whatever Apple and Steve want to achieve they just can. Don’t worry about physics and the fact that no one has even presented a demo for perfectly transparent high resolution display.
No one has done it well yet because it literally isn’t possible. You have to significantly compromise the display quality and the camera quality. It’s just not worth it.
Video calling on a phone was impossible too, then smartphones came along.
Do you really think there won’t be any more inventions or innovations that’ll make previously impossible things possible?
I literally had a phone that did video calls before the first iphone was announced iPhone.
Stop bringing up irrelevant examples of innovation.
It might be possible without the kinds of compromises we see now, one day, but not at the moment.
No one even has a million dollar proof of concept example.
Makes sense, there were smartphones before the original iPhone.
I’m sorry, I didn’t realize video calling was irrelevant these days. It won’t happen again.
I’m sure you know what technology the skunkworks at tech firms have access to or not. So I trust that the technology doesn’t exist today and wouldn’t have existed today if Steve was alive because it doesn’t exist today in the first place. Makes total sense.
It was really nice to talk to someone who really knows what they’re talking about. Have a nice day!
Way to take that out of context.
He could have it, but different. My best guess is the camera would be more centered on the back, so the iPhone wouldn't be uneven.
