I like this prediction too!
Incredible. We haven't changed much, have we?
So civilised
Cute, they thought that it would only grow in one dimension while in reality it did in two.
I like how at the time we hadn't even considered the entire slab would be a screen, like the memes still have the home button at the bottom. I get that it's a meme but still.
We also probably assumed the headphone jack would never go away either so.
It was my prediction. We've even got ones with a screen that wraps onto the side. A screen on the back side hasn't happened yet, though.
But it's just dumb, so it hasn't caught on.
I hate phones with glass backsides, I've replaced the back of my S20 a dozen times before switching to a phone with a plastic back. Yes it looks nice (if you use it without a cover), but it breaks so easily. It's always super thin glass, not the thick gorilla glass like the front. If you look at it wrong it cracks.
Yeah we have. We even had a phone that had an e-paper display on one side for low power usage. Almost all the folding phones have a screen that is on the back when unfolded.
You could argue that folding phones have screens on the back, just not the full thing, and not always the back
My zFold would like a word
I’m not gonna do the math myself, but in terms of total screen size it’s probably pretty close to accurate.
I can fit 24 rows of apps ON MY DICK!
The iPhone Pro Max is a big boy
This is a really great illustration of how mere extrapolation can lead you to shitty conclusions.
Perfection.
There's always an xkcd!
This is basically the slippery slope fallacy in a picture.
Make it foldable and it's pretty much exactly what happened.
The 10 didn't get that far, but the current biggest phone is not much smaller. Just wider instead of taller.

I love my mini so much
Who remembers the lg chocolate or whatever it was called with like a 25:1 aspect ratio or whatever lol
Sony Xperia
It didn't.
This is exactly what I would do if I was stealing data legally from my users. Ignore it (except what I can make a quick buck on) and keep shoving asinine bs to them for no reward other than my fiscal bonuses.
Apple, fuck life different.
