I said this years ago and I’ll say it again - if Apple puts out some laptop shell that an iPhone can slot into which has its keyboard, touchscreen monitor, and extended battery etc and basically acts as a Chromebook-esque note taking and internet browsing device, I can imagine they’d take over high schools and colleges.
(I do specifically say touchscreen monitor because many kids are growing up never having used a mouse or trackpad. They won’t have used keyboards either but that’s a more essential/less replaceable skill for the workplace in the future.)
Edit: Yes, I know this is an Android subreddit, but it’s iPhones that the kids in the US have and that’s what immediately struck me reading this - a way to eat Chromebook’s lunch.
Oh, very true. I was thinking the same thing re: Androids and Chromebooks, but I forgot about the iPad market. Oh well, guess we’re stuck with at least 2 different portable computer products at all times. Anything else would be of just too much benefit to the consumer.

Imo the only reason why it hasnt happened yet is because it would devalue ipad pros.
