[THIS SPACE IS INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK FOR IPHONE
RANTS]
My current iPhone is about half as thick and twice as thin
as my old iPhone, but is otherwise very similar in all
respects. In particular, it has a front and a back. The
front has a screen and does things; the back does
not and
does not. The only purpose of the back, as far as I can
tell, is to stop things falling out of the middle, by trapping
them between itself and the front.
In some far-distant future, I suspect that iPhones will have
two fronts, which would be twice as good. But this
technology must await as-yet-inconceivable advances in
science and technology.
In the interim meantime while we wait, therefore, it
would behove the iPhone accessory market to produce a
twin-phone-case. It would consist of a rectangular frame
with rounded corners, into which two iPhones could be
fitted, back to back.
The result would be a slightly thicker iPhone, but it would
have two fronts - one on each side. With suitable apps,
this would open up unlimitless possibilities, such as being
able to dial a completely random number on one phone
whilst dialling your intended number on the other.

Put an Android on one side. Maybe Lt. Data. |

If one were to cleverly dial the other phone, one could then
talk to one's self. |

Don't come looking for sympathy here. If you suffer from an IPhoney it's your own stupid fault. |

We are prepared to loan you a tool suitable for improving iPhoneys. It's called a "hammer". |

Mr. Ian, I have had my phone, or another version of my
phone, for 4 years. It has never been jacketed. It's naked. I'm
a bad mother. Shame. |

Likewise, my fancy new Wileyfox Swift (a cheap
Android phone) doesn't have a case. |

[tatterdemalion]'s link shows me that science and
technology have advanced far further than I had
remotely considered possible. I covet such an item. |

Indeed. We understand that recent research shows that within a century it may actually be possible to teach women to read without their heads exploding. Experiments involving hammering a Tefal pressure cooker onto a woman's head have shown satisfactory outcomes in a statistically significant sample.We thought it fanciful, but numbers don't lie. |
