    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

              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 don’t see anything significant happening to Apple imo. I mean, there was likely a layout of what things to release as well as Jony Ive (being one of Apple’s core designers) having a vision for Apple. Hell, he helped with some of the best products like the G4, 2007 iPhone, and first iPod!

    Also, iOS, MacOS, and the iPad were all starting to mature. The skeuomorphic design was fading away into something more “modern”. I do see silicon Mac’s releasing sooner as well as Vision Pro releasing earlier, but the first few iterations being limited and restricted.

    My theory is that the product line would’ve been more minimal, and Apple wouldn’t be the highest market cap company. Also the 699 Mac Pro wheels wouldn’t exist.

    But who knows, none of us would really know.

    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

    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.

    We miss you steve

    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.
