it's so stupid I'm still not convinced it's real.

"This can't be real. Checks URL again."

Dude! I was doing the same thing. I kept thinking, "Is this some new form of prank that hides the url somehow?"

I can’t stop laughing at this comment. I think that’s what we all did!

I did the same, but also double checked the date to make sure this wasn't some weird April fools that got missed

cheap iPhone

LOL

That's exactly what I was thinking too. Like an iPhone nano or something. The laugh I let out when I saw what it actually was though, I really needed that today.

I thought it was going to be a new form factor iPhone that could fit comfortably in your pocket.

I've commented on here before how women's clothing generally doesn't have large-enough pockets for smartphones. A lot of modern women's clothing is form-fitting, and has small pockets.

So either you revise the clothing or add some kind of wearable bag/pocket.

Used to be that women wore dresses, had slits in the skirts that they could reach through, and then had sorta wearable pockets on beneath them. But full skirts are pretty dead now, so:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket

By the 17th century, pockets were sewn into men's clothing, while women's remained as separate tie-on pouches hidden beneath skirts.[5][6]

In the 17th to 19th centuries, women's tie-on pockets—mentioned in the rhyme Lucy Locket—often carried everyday tools like scissors, pins, needles, and keys.[7][8]: 113 

In modern fashion, men's clothing usually includes pockets, whereas women's clothing often has smaller or even fake ones, sometimes called Potemkin pockets after the concept of a Potemkin village. A 2018 study by the Pudding found that fewer than half of women's front pockets could fit a thin wallet, let alone a phone or keys.[9]

When I first ran into this, I thought "well, put the phone in your purse then, dammit, you're already carrying that for feminine hygiene products". Problem is that women don't haul (bulky) purses everywhere

walk into the office, say, set down the purse at the desk, and it's mostly staying at the desk. I don't know any women who wear their purses around the house. But they do want to keep the phone available all the time.

And the smartphone is a pretty ubiquitous item to want to carry around now.

So unless women's clothing changes to have large pockets and somehow deals with not messing up the body's silhouette or whatever makes that a problem or the smartphone form factor changes ("big smartwatch?"), I expect that people have to wind up with some kind of mini, wearable container. Like this.

I'm so sick of this trend of trying to make the phone as thin as possible and then the camera bump has prominent as possible, completely negating any benefit. My partner would definitely like a thinner phone and would probably buy a phone that didn't have the camera bump because it didn't have any camers, if it meant a thinner phone that would actually fit in her pocket.

Either that or keep the camera bump and just thicken the whole phone out and give me a larger battery and the apparently too big to fit 3.5mm audio jack.

Profit: $229

It's great! Costs about zero energy to produce, takes money from idiots, what's not to love?!

Well, not a fan, exactly, but I am forced to be fully engulfed in the apple ecosystem.

I don’t hate them more than Dell, Asus, Sony, or Microsoft. Not everything they make is a ripoff.

• the $10 A/D converter in the headphone adapters is a steal
• the mac mini with base config is a good deal
• the macbook air is worth the money and best in class
• ipad — no worthy competition for most users
• M-series chips and their energy consumption
• savvy users avoid all the upsell ripoffs like storage upgrades and displays and sock slings

Probably not. Can you imagine someone with a non-Apple phone not being willing to buy an iPhone, but being willing to buy one of those?

No. Those can be useful. This can only hold your phone.

Tangentially related. I used to go out on boats a bunch meant years ago. Lost a moto Razer when they were still kinda new. Was bummed, but learned. So I bought what at the time was a kinda nice Nokia(one of the first bar phones with blue tooth) and put it in a condom and tied it off. Could still use it fairly normally, and there was enough air to keep it floating the few times it fell in. Caught on with some of my cohorts, others got a very expensive lesson in laughing at me.

Some people might find this shocking…. But a lot of knitting is already 3D. It’s not a very novel concept.
