An Intimate Conversation with my iPhone 4S

iPhone, my wee little iPhone.

Lossless?

It doesn’t matter.

Should I turn the microphone up?

Oh.

If only I had discovered ferrite back in the drywall days.

Let’s turn it down.

Maybe a little bit to something more reasonable.

What there?

iPhone 4S.

This little phone.

How I wish I could take, okay, maybe if I was really being a glutton, like 75% of the performance and maybe even the fucking pixel density of the screen and the brightness even from my iPhone 15 Pro and put it into this form factor, as they say, just without the camera.

And well, I guess I should, it’s not that hard to calculate.

What is the volume of the phone, the inside of the phone?

Battery.

It’s not, it’s just not offered.

And there’s like no foreseeable, well, foreseeable is a little bit extreme.

At least in the immediate future of handsets, the handset market, I’m not gonna be able to, nobody’s gonna have the opportunity to even try that, a modern phone in this size.

But shucks, if I was more business minded, if I had a trust fund and was more delusional, I’d be very tempted to start a startup that’s literally just replicate, we’re gonna replicate the iPhone 4S basically, exact dimensions, essentially, same controls, but with 2024 components, bookmark.
