Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “The iPhone XI Smartphone Powered Laptop”.
Oh, I see how it’s doing yeah it’s pushing it pushing though it’s still the same degree of precision like it’s doing a waviness on purpose. Mm-. Could the next iPhone by the way? Are they gim me yeah, the name? First of all, what is that 11? I kind of think they have to do this whole Roman numeral thing cuz, they switched from numbers, but I don’t think anyone can hold them to that. It’S losing its luster yeah. Could the iPhone 11 power a laptop okay right off the bat? Yes right it? Could it could but should the iPhone 11 power laptop? So there’s this this patent application here, which looks a lot like something that was it razor showed off at CES a few years back, I’m gon na forget the name. It was either Linda or Linda, like kadjic, Linda, in which a phone slotted into the area where you would normally have a trackpad. It was a cool idea. It was a razor phone, so obviously a lot of hype around the performance of the phone razor wanting to show off something having to do with that performance. You get the touchscreen as a trackpad, which is kind of cool.
What I was thinking is it’s getting harder and harder to convince people to spend like a thousand bucks on a phone. If you could make the proposition that the phone can also be their laptop, are you looking at the iPad application? Yeah yeah? That’S the thing is they’ve already tried. Selling people like me on an iPad replacing their laptop and iOS, is not quite there yet kind of been that, like last hurdle, they’ve had to get over so trying to slot an iPhone into that application might be an even harder. So I understand what you’re saying about spending a thousand dollars year after year, not as convincing mm-, what, if you slaughtered it into the spot and then rather than have iOS, you had OS 10.
What Samsung did with the Dex setup? Yes is that the interface is completely different from Endor own whole different UI yeah, it kind of looks like Chrome or something you plug the iPhone or the iPad in to the specialized Apple doc. And you get this OS 10 light or some version that the eight twelve or eight thirteen can power. That could be actually interesting. Yeah I mean anything. Is we keep talking about just how powerful these new Apple products are and mobile products, the phone, the iPad and so on? It’S almost like in their current environment they’re, not really using the hardware. That’S sitting there like for a lot of people.
A lot of people are buying these things and they’re, not really maxing out the capacity, and it’s obvious that Apple has a real advantage in that department when it comes to mobile processors. It’S almost like they’re under utilizing that advantage, and this could be a way to kind of showcase, just how powerful those mobile processors are. If they did it well, it would be a great showcase of it, because we’ve said that for a while, like not only is the a12, so grainy a 12x is so great, but you have so much more headroom performance wise that the phone last super long time.
You get a new OS update. It works fine, showing some application to a normal person that could actually take more of a use of that processing power instead of just Instagram and Twitter Gmail, like most people, never actually use that extra power. You put that in the hands of a student and then taking notes on it there.
Suddenly, I don’t know multitasking apps open at the same time, right kind of thing. Let’S say Apple does go ahead and create a product like this I mean really. It’S just an accessory, it’s just a shell, it’s a screen in a keyboard, but you know Apple. Apple’S gon na do the premium way, which is it’s gon na, be a I mean, ideally a great screen, I’m not a fan of Apple’s keyboard cases.
By the way talk about the iPad keyboard case, yeah yeah – I couldn’t get used to it. It’S not that great. In fact, I had trouble recently with the the chiclet style keys on the new MacBook Air as well we’re using a think pad the x1 carbon and that keyboard. I love that keyboard right in awkward, I’m clacking away and he’s not like a mechanical keyboard, but just getting some travel back yeah.
What Apple do that, or what Apple be stubborn and put that chick? Oh, no, not a trackpad yeah touch bar. Maybe something like that. I don’t know I’m curious, I think some people would do cool things with that. Yeah typically do with Apple stuff yeah, as long as Apple can justify it as being a legitimate replacement for a laptop, then fully expect them to charge laptop prices for it. I’M just getting ideas about it now, if like, if they build wireless charging into it generally laptops have much bigger batteries that you don’t worry less charge, but if the phone’s powering the whole thing kind of have just like space for battery and then laptop, and you Just wirelessly charge the whole battery. Do you think Apple will do something like this? Yes or no. Is this just a rumor? Is this just garbage? Is this just fluff? I don’t think it’s iPhone 11. I think they’re considering it for a future iPhone, maybe but even razors project Linda, was kind of an indicator that it’s cool, but most people aren’t actually gon na use this.
So I’m gon na vote no for iPhone 11, no for iPhone 11. I think I agree with you. I don’t think we’re gon na see it in the next version, but it is cool and as a gadget head and a tech fan, isn’t it kind of thing is it starts to get interesting. You start to reconfigure your mindset about like what computing devices should be, and I had a bit of that dilemma with the latest iPad, where I gave up a laptop completely and I was just using it. I’M like wow, it’s interesting like some things. It does really well other things I feel like I’m missing, a laptop, so some sort of a hybrid and, of course, the success of Microsoft, Surface products which at first were weird and now they’re everywhere, so I mean coming out here to Toronto. I brought my iPad and my MacBook Pro and I haven’t opened my macbook pro yet, but I’ve used my iPad, so I’m like a hybrid where I don’t necessarily have to buy. Both things is always appealing could be cool, think about it.
Apple, .
