I'm just glad they finally figured that people don't really care anymore if their phone is slightly thinner than the competition.

OMG!
They didn't even skimp too bad on the SoC - That SD835 is way more than enough for such a device. I'm genuinely impressed.

1080p .. more than adequate without the "4K eat your battery" display

Honestly, though, $649 is pretty steep for a 2017 SoC and a 1080p display, even if the keyboard is pretty nice.

You know, one day they're going to figure out that you can put a phone in any computer.

I could make calls on my Power Mac 6500/275. It also functioned as an answering machine. All part of the software bundle from Apple as I recall.
Not even duct tape will fix stupid, but it can muffle the sound.

Hardly, but I've got a 2 year old phone with same-or-better specs than that, which "only" cost me $300.
That's a lot of money for a keyboard.
