The better thing they ever made is Siri, I love using it for everything I need it especially in The car, but she don’t wanna drive for me 🥲
I love my device because I am able to use it for several things such as watching high quality movies using netflix or amazon prime. I can listen to my favourite podcasts and music though spotify or amazon music. Also I can play high performance games. In future I would like to see a cooling fan implemented into the devices to stop the devices from over heating.
Ooh, I can answer all 3 questions easily here.
- What do you love most about your current devices?
What I enjoy with my current set of devices is how they can sync up together. Granted, there are some issues with certain devices/apps (looking at you, Garmin) which are restrictive, but the fact that I can go from my computer to my phone is a great help, especially for work. - What classic device would you like to see updated (if technology issues were no problem)?
Honestly, I have a copious amount of old devices. From old computers to old phones and tablets.
Ideally, being able to update these and use them for other uses would be great! However, that is not the nature of technology, and the hardware just stops being supported (luckily, I'm a bit of a tinkerer, and can usually squeeze more life out of a machine than its intended span). - What future features would you like to see from mobile tech?
The biggest thing for me is power and portability. If there was a true convergence of mobile and desktop, that would be great! I have Bluetooth peripherals and USB C monitors, so if it could be the case that I can use my phone as a workstation, it would mean I wouldn't need my laptop to do work when out and about (granted, it is a very light laptop).
But the idea of basically having a computer in my pocket and being able to do everything on it (including programming) would be great!

Love the iPhone if just for FaceTime and airdrop!
"What classic device would you like to see updated (if technology issues were no problem)?"
Probably the Nokia Communicator - at the time a mind-blowing bit of kit, but some of the modern takes just haven't quite worked....
I love my tablet as it lets me connect with my family and friends while also being able to complete my course
What I'd like to see on future tech is more affordable tech with giod quality waterproofing.
