    Steve’s creation was so that simple needs would have access to a simple operating device. It’s was a cult like hysteria that took over the simple world. Apple would probably be in control of the entire mobile landscape.

    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.

        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

              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 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.

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

        they were waiting for screen of that type

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

    As many people have pointed out, iPhone trends over the past few years have not aligned with Steve’s design philosophy, both in terms of screen size and things such as cameras not being flush.

    But more importantly, and please don’t be immature and downvote me, far too many changes to both iPhone design and iOS feature set have been reactions to competition in the Android space. This is not a knock at Apple, they just looked at what the market seemed to be demanding and pivoted to deliver. The idea that everything up until now or even through the X was already fully planned by 2011 is not just kind of silly, it borders on blind religious faith.

    Full screen probably was always in the cards, though as some have said, most likely for a device akin to the mini and lacking a notch.

    If Apple has a detailed road map for 10+ years and didn’t bother to respond to market demands or user input in all that time… we probably wouldn’t be here typing this on our iPhones now.

    when i was a teenager, i asked my mom how she thought steve jobs (like, 1970s jobs) would react to an iMac made today. she responded with “steve jobs would probably say it sucks, and that he could make one better”.

    that always stuck with me as something profound

    Flat design would never happen, we would see an evolution from raster skeuomorphic to 3D graphic’s skeuomorphic

    No notch and one single camera that can zoom but not stick out when not in use. Some design ideas would either come earlier or later like LED screens and plus size phones.

    I imagine we would be stuck with small phones and designs that would seem like innovation but really aren’t. Also iOS would be nowhere near as flexible as it is now. Steve was all about marketing.

    I dont miss him at all (I am not saying “I’m glad he’s dead”).

    Much prefer Tim Apple Cook as the head of Apple.

    Lot of people saying the phone wouldn’t have gotten bigger, but the Android side showed that people wanted OMG HEUG phones.

    I think the notch would have never passed the Jobsian review.

    I do think that the camera bump would also have driven him crazy so he might have ordered the team to design around it.

    But there’s not much you can really do once the shape reaches the flat rectangle. So, I don’t the phones would be radically different.

    I would suspect like other have said there would t be a new one every year and doubt the latest ones would be selling for over £1000/$1000 each.
