I mean, I don’t hate it.
I want a Dethphone:

Nathan: Oh man, this thing’s just designed to eat up minutes. It’s brutal.
Still my ringtone to this day
Brutal.
I like the dimensions of the hand holding that phone.
Clearly it’s Jeff Goldblum’s hand.
Looks really easy to drop and break. Yeah Apple will probably do this then.
Apple suggests that instead of using a case and screen cover you should instead slather your oval phone with protective lube. Phone cases and screen covers might rub against the finish of your phone, completely ruining the phone, making it unusable. The protective lube won’t do that and will make your phone shiny when others look at it. And remember, if you haven’t dropped your phone in the last week, Apple experts suggest juggling your for a few minutes after applying a new layer of lube to scare off the invisible drop trolls that commonly plague Android users.
I was the proud, frustrated owner of one of these beauties
oh my God, it’s real!
Okay, that’s actually fucking cool
One of many true smartphones obliterated by the iPhone.
Tim Apple presenting it like it’s a portal [to a new era of mobile computing] is exactly what would happen lol
Then Samsung would make fun of it, then release oval phones 2 years later.
Make it egg shaped
Ring, ring.
That looks really nice as like a desktop device.
Oh fuck, I want that. Gimme gimme.
Oh hey, Wall-E scored.
Coo-coo-ca-choo
iCarly called… On this thing
I can’t believe they even bothered making rectangular phones.
Actually, I kind of dig it.
Until you need to adhere to standard formats for websites and what not.
Who needs standards anyway.
Bottom right
“It’s the only phone that grows to twenty times its original size, and then transforms into a gateway to another dimension. You’re not going to find that if you stick with Android or Apple.”
please God no
Image is not real. It lacks black bars on top and bottom of the screen.
What year is it? Now the black bars are at either side
Better idea the black bar is the whole screen
Nope in todays world they have to blur the edges. That way one third on the right is blur and on third on the left is blur. Not sure who came up with that stupid idea.
The camera is angled 22.5° as a compromise.
Many people here like it, and it honestly seems fine until you try to watch any full screen video.
This is a feature, not a bug. Oval phone shrinks your full screen size, and your normal videos and apps are surrounded by useful widgets. Adapted oval videos and apps will get real full screen.
It would be an actual argument to buy their proprietary, anti consumer hardware. Smartphones dont change much anymore. They’re pushing these finnicky folding displays at samsung but otherwise its the same brick, just more power, more energy consumption and more bigger cameras. There is barely any innovation compared to the first couple of years. Not to speak of the unrepairable, buy for the landfill airpods.
Oval phone, a revolutionary shape change, it is more in line with the natural range of your eyes.
And a pain in the ass to hold comfortably. Especially if you have any muscular issues (like me)
It’s better than The Notch.™
