how would that be significantly better than using speaker phone with your phone in the cupholder like the rest of the cavemen with no integrated bt audio?

no, because the people who thought that the iphone and ipad were good products have been proven correct

the iphone did nothing that other devices couldnt already do: it just did them better, and packaged them in such a way that people wanted to own the product

would be cool to replace all ports on all things with usb-c tho i guess. what if all plugs were same? cool.

I think apple has proven with the New MacBook and with the Lightning connector that using a single "smart plug" is a viable option with today's technology.

the time share computers were computers for universities and labs

the desktop computer was a computer for your desk

the laptop computer is a computer for your lap or other surface

the iPhone was a computer in your pocket

the iPad was an iPhone for your lap

the apple watch is a computer for your wrist

when computers change form factors its a big deal because it affects when and where we can do things requiring computation

i wonder if the use of wrist tilts to look at and respond to messages while driving will be worse than people directly using their phones, proportionally speaking

i mean at least both hands are on the wheel but i can't imagine it's that much better?

when they flip out trying to get the tilt to register and light up the screen while staring at their wrist instead of the road it's sure the schoolchildren they mow down at the crosswalk will be just as dead
