Anddd now we have boring slab design, thanks Steve Apple.
But there are tries to make flip phones again with bendy screens - too fragile I think.
A bendy screen is useless IMHO. Even a flip phone with two screens is better.
Steve Apple isn't the only one to blame for it, Apple just used to great success a few cultural cliches about future technology.
Still, unifying the control device and the display device is very stupid. I understand something with a normal screen for displaying information and a touchscreen for displaying controls.
The biggest problem with that is sadly the most functional design also happens to be the most boring.
It's not the most functional for everyone with every balance of power possible. It's the optimal for casual (dumb) usage with surveillance economy, ads and content consumption, but not production, and when that content is mostly not text.
Idiocracy machine.
