Overall this event was pretty mid imo 🥱
Beginning to feel like this industry is stagnating. Just doing enough to appease the stockholders and pump the stock.
Phones are completely boring now, colours should not be newsworthy but they always get a mention because everything else moves at snail's pace.
At least Jobs had vision to push innovation.
They're "boring" because they're at their limit. The form factor can do what it can do.
Foldables will eventually enhance the experience, but the materials that are available don't do the job. Until then there's only iteration.
Foldables are never going to take off.
What we really need is rollables. Give me a scroll type phone please.
Snap-band phone plz
A slap bracelet smartwatch sounds interesting.
It would probably need a breakthrough in flexible batteries as well as better displays though.
batteries could sit on the flat parts of the wrist (top/bottom). the real issue is the softness of flexible displays that wouldn’t have a clamshell protecting them from exposure.
That’s genuinely exactly what I want
That's a lot less viable than a foldable is. It's absolutely an improvement in theory, but that doesn't mean we can do it any time soon.
Give me the Global from Earth Final Conflict.
