Some ideas: -change screen ratio, increase width against height, like an iPad.

-Why are iPads and iPhones treated so differently? I want to use a pen on the phone and make a phone call on the tablet.

-Double screen, not foldable, but two screens like an open book. I could see a lot of useful applications like showing lists on one screen, details on the other, or a good ereader. In landscape, have a writing app on top and a touch keyboard on the bottom screen.

-Slide the phone into a laptop-like shell and run desktop apps with MacOS. It's the same processor the macs have, no?

-Likewise, attach to a monitor, keyboard and mouse and run desktop apps.

Edit: Linebreaks.

a built in laser projector would have a wow factor and I think apple could have pulled something off (e.g. this article is from 2022 https://www.wileyindustrynews.com/en/news/worlds-smallest-pr...)

imagine at work projecting from iphone work slides or whiteboards at work or videos/games indoor at home on a white wall etc (apple loves accessories, and the potential for accessories on this would be huge as well)
