It would be cool if iPhone could double as a laptop by just adding a monitor and keyboard/mouse and switch over to macOS. | ||

Tim Apple wants you to pay thrice, once for a phone, once again for a tablet and finally one last time for a laptop. | ||

That’s basically the Neo. Apple did patent a design for a dock in a monitor for a portable device to slot into. It’s gotta be getting close to expiration now. I think the trick is heat dissipation. My friend who is a macOS programmer years ago had an idea for a startup mode for iMacs where instead of just being a screen, the storage and video card would also be accessible over the thunderbolt bus, so you could plug a laptop in and have multiple video cards at your disposal. | ||

Thermals and the interconnection speed would be a drag, but it would be nice to have a target display mode on a mac for iPhone | ||
