It would need:
1. 3 screens. Without a front one, it won’t beat the instantaneous access to information that modern smartphones offer
2. Extra-thin body, to not be heavier and bulkier than modern smartphones

How is that people across geographies and industries all marvel at the @Apple narrative style and then they do the exact opposite when they build their own presentations?

Building a presentation boils down to making a call on how you want to tell a story.
You need to make hard decisions about what to focus on and how to say it.
You cannot tell everything to everybody. That is a recipe for disaster.

Today and tomorrow I’ll be at the #AppSecEU in London. Very interested in how the European security community reacts to certain presentations.
