    It’s a hard question to answer because you just don’t know where technology might go next. A couple decades ago, you might have asked how much better flip phones can get, and here we are today…

    Personally, one of my dreams is a phone that I can stretch to become bigger if I need the screen size, and then I can just squish/fold/whatever it back down to fit in my pocket. Maybe through some magic, we’ll get full frame camera sensors in phones? Long-distance wireless charging? And of course there’s silicon improvements—it would be pretty cool to have the equivalent of a i9 14900k and a 4090 in your pocket.

    A universal back gesture doesn’t make any sense. Windows Phone had a dedicated back button. Which was a mistake. There are many situations where there isn’t a logical “back”. It should only be available when it makes sense.

    Once solid state batteries replace lithium ions in standard electronics, I’m pretty sure we’ll see a skyrocketing battery life

      I will say that when I had my Google pixels, I had split screen multitasking I barely ever used it. Here’s why: it made both apps very small, and almost unusable unfortunately. Just food for thought.

    Two apps side by side. A back button. A close all apps button or option.

    I just switched from a Samsung s9+ to the iPhone 15 pro max. It’s only been a week. Love the phone but those 3 features are really missed right now

    Only your imagination could limit how good it could get. There are always advances in technology. Eventually come become a personal transporter device. 🖖🏼

    Solid state batteries ( better longevity, better handle on extreme low or high temperatures, 2.5x the energy per square, so the battery can be smaller with larger autonomy then the current ones ).

    Notch / Dynamic Island hardware also needs to go under the screen.

    There’s a lot to improve :)
