NO! ThIs wIlL bEe tHE IPhoNe 5:
That’s such a bad interface on the side. Nothing is tactile. Touch something on the left side without looking, by feel alone, and you might get loudness, might get lights.
Surprise disco.
iPhone has added the new camera action button with the 16. With a light touch (while active) it has a menu pop up and with a harder press, it has haptic feedback. As you put your finger over where the buttons are, there could be a little pop up on the side, and then a press would be haptic. They’ve already started experimenting with having the black bar on the side of the screen indent slightly when any side button is pressed.
they could add haptic feedback, like they did on the samsung s8, where the home button felt more physical, because u hav to press with pressure and it vibrate when u do. it feels surprisingly comfy and reasonably real. but yes, normal buttons WAY better. <3
It took me longer than it should have to realize the home button on my iPhone 7 wasn't a real button.
I guess it would be an improvement, but it wouldn't really solve the problem of knowing what you're pressing.
I guess maybe you could have some light vibration with touch and trigger it with a harder press, but it really feels like we're putting way more effort into just making worse buttons. I don't see the tradeoffs being worth it without a lot of investment from both the phone maker and app makers
Exactly. This is also why having controls in your car be strictly touch screen is dangerous.
Ugh, too thick. And the bars at the top and bottom? Gag me with a spoon.
Reverse the numbers and you get 1220. Feel old yet?
Can't believe it's been 805 years without Adelaide II of Büren 😞
Look again. Reverse the numbers and you get 2102. Feel old yet? Look again.
The numbers are now diamonds!
All I can see in my mind is dropping that thing, over and over again.
I'm not worried about dropping it, but I can see myself throwing it out after I unintentionally activate one of the side buttons for the 45,000th time.
Also a fair point, yes!
Who needs user-replaceable batteries, phones that are meant to be taken apart and repaired (aka... don't glue the damn things together), or a device that doesn't actively resist you changing your OS, when you have wrap around display?
I'm gonna be honest the design looks cool. forget the anti-consumer stuff about apple for a sec, like. it LOOKS cool. impractical? sure. but like, you'd definitely get the attention of everyone on the playground with that thing.
I like that it has bezels, a physical home button, and an apparently 16:9 display
There actually are a couple phones out with this already, though they're mostly Chinese builds. E.g., this one has a screen that wraps around the back: https://youtu.be/PTpoj4f25dk?t=119
That's cool as fuck but I'm a clumsy bitch and would destroy the screen within the first day of getting my hands on it sadly. 😭
And in 2013 we'll have this:
There was a phone with a projector built in.
IIRC it was shit
ngl, I would love to own a phone with a built in projector
The future is now!

Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.
Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".
Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.
Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
