The iPhone isn’t a question. Its roadmap up to the X was probably set by that point.

It’s the iPad and Mac evolutions that probably would’ve been very different, though the move to the M chips was probably the plan back then.

I don’t think they planned upto iPhone X in 2011

[–] Nichigan90@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I think you’re underestimating the iPhone design cycle timeline

[–] Jozex21@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

i think the idea of making iphone full screen was planned from the start

they were waiting for screen of that type

Most of the iPhone designs and most of the stuff you use on a daily basis is designed 10 years prior

It most certainly was already envisioned and being actively developed on internally in different steps.

They move hundreds of millions of iPhones per year. They have tremendous amounts of planning to do in order to achieve this kind of production.

I would be shocked if the iPhone launching in 2034 doesn't already have a solid roadmap and early decisions are already being made

The heat issue that came with poor heat management in 15 says otherwise.

How buried in the sand are you dude?

They fixed in in software like three weeks later

[–] fell_over@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I am saying that this is not a software issue as said by them. It’s a powerful chip. Probably more than a phone can handle.

Lets catchup when you play resident evil village on your iPhone 15 pro or pro max. I am telling you from first hand experience 2 days ago. I’ve tried it on 15pm

i agree at all. but what would be different in iPhone after x series?

[–] Kevinsmak@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

A lot cheaper.

[–] taxis-asocial@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yeah idk what their answer is supposed to mean. Since the X we have had Xs, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15

[–] Virucid@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The X was perfect. Everything after was Xs

[–] juicyjerry300@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Really 6-8 are similar and x-14 are similar. Gradual improvement and small upgrades along with way but nothing ground breaking

[–] skisagooner@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

X?! No way. Jobs would not allow the elongation of the 5 from the 4.
