The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The iPhone was seen as fairly bulky but we became used to it and continued to want the latest CPU, storage and longer battery life.

I agree with the prior comment that the headsets will need to become significantly smaller/lighter to take off. It's true that the iPhone has maintained it's bulk, or gotten even bigger for some models, but that added size includes tasty added functionality: a bigger screen is much easier and better to watch video on, and multiple high quality cameras with the storage and computing capacity to capture incredible photos and video is also highly popular. But, every iPhone can still be slipped into your pocket when not in use, out of sight. The headsets on the other hand are strapped onto your face, and I believe they'll have to become much smaller, lighter and more attractive for people to want to wear them on a regular basis, especially if they are to become something that is used in public.
