I literally had a phone that did video calls before the first iphone was announced iPhone.

Stop bringing up irrelevant examples of innovation.

It might be possible without the kinds of compromises we see now, one day, but not at the moment.

No one even has a million dollar proof of concept example.

Makes sense, there were smartphones before the original iPhone.

I’m sorry, I didn’t realize video calling was irrelevant these days. It won’t happen again.

I’m sure you know what technology the skunkworks at tech firms have access to or not. So I trust that the technology doesn’t exist today and wouldn’t have existed today if Steve was alive because it doesn’t exist today in the first place. Makes total sense.

It was really nice to talk to someone who really knows what they’re talking about. Have a nice day!
