My Perfect Smartphone

Every now and then I see replies about Smartphone like "They are good enough, what more do people want?" And I kept wondering, really?

The iPhone 16 Pro is expected to be 8.25mm thick. Compare this to iPod touch which was 6.1mm, or even iPad Pro 11" at 5.9mm. I could do a 2.25mm reduction in thickness. And then the weight. The 15 Pro Max is 221g. The 15 Plus is 200g and it still not light weight enough. May be 180g would do?

After all these while retaining performance and function parity, we still want 50% increase in capacity.

I am not sure if that hypothetical iPhone is perfect, but even if I am willing to pay extra for it, that list of improvement is easily 5-8 years of R&D and 10 years before shipping.

i.e The current Smartphone are FAR from perfect.

So people want big screen will now either have to spend big money for Pro Max, or choose to loose camera and go for SE Plus. The SE Plus will also be slimmer and has similar battery life as SE. Meaning no reason to…

AI PC Era or AI of iPhone era

Jensen said it is the AI of iPhone era. I was a little bit sceptical at first. Now I think it is true, may be for slightly different reason than Jensen's. We continue to see LLM / Generative AI improvement every single weeks or months. And most expect we have at least another 5 years of these improvements. While we may or will hit a plateau some day and require new way of…
