Reviews and articles
gollark: Or maybe something more sinister like iConnect™.
gollark: iISP™, obviously.
gollark: Since it'll have no screen, you'll need to buy an external device to interface with it over iBluetooth, which is of course incompatible with regular Bluetooth.
gollark: The iPhone 20, which will have a pretentious name like the "iPhone Xyzzy PlusProS™", will just be a solid 2mm-thick slab of aluminum which will be interacted with entirely wirelessly and have a battery life of 10 minutes.
gollark: I don't think I have any over £30, and most of the games I like are cheaper than that.
