this kinda serves of a proof of concept for just how minimal we can get with a smartphone while retaining most of the "smart". I might even try this for a bit...


I dont think the average consumer wants this. They want a big screen, and flashy features, and a camera that makes ugly people beautiful.


Thank god they’ve got every existing product on the market to choose from, then.


Finally I am not the average consumer!

I think the parent comment's point is good -- if Apple are watching (pun not intended): you could make a truly tiny phone out of watchOS, please do it.


isn't apple getting so far out of the tiny phone game they've cancelled all the minis and even cancelled the next iphone SE?


Hard to say without phones available that cater towards other needs. I'm waiting for one that brags about not having access to most functionality outside of phone, gps, sms, and camera.


Yeah, the lack of a camera is a big reason why the Apple Watch isn't a great phone replacement.
