You sound like you work for the Apple legal team, picking up on technicalities like that.

(seriously)
How does it compared to other professional monitors (video editing, color calibration) ?
For example :
HDR reference monitor | B&H Photo Video
Canon DP-V3120 31" 4K HDR Reference Monitor : $39,000 ...
so, YMMV.
I'd rather be phishing!

A good book I'm reading classes Apple as a luxury brand. One of the figures for smartphones is 20% market share and 85% revenues...overpriced status symbol, same as other iThings.

Sometimes, too options can be a problem. A few days ago, I nedded to take a photo from a bus ticket and the "one hand holded" smartphone insisted in asking for a miriad of options of embellishment and in fixing my priorities. Just this time, I would have preferred an not so smart phone.
As the interface, that´s to say, the languaje you comunnicate whith is changing every other day nowadays. Do you think a button that reduces the "smartness" of your device is necessary?

It is not a problem for iPhone owners. They have clearly already had a lobotomy, so their phone doesn't need one.

And Apple will reduce the "smartness" of your iPhone each time they release a new version (to conserve your battery life, of course).

The real problem is poor app design. In many cases, programmers take an application that runs on a PC and try to cram all of its features into the app that runs on a smartphone. A smartphone has a much smaller screen and limited input methods, resulting in an app that is full-featured, but difficult to use. They would do better by only including the features that you have to have on a smartphone, leaving the rest for the PC.
For example, Microsoft Outlook allows you to set rules that define the folders where e-mails are stored. This functionality exists on the PC version, but not on the smartphone version.

just curious:
have you ever met anyone that actually does ms office (excel, word) on a phone?
-> if so, were they (1) happy with it, (2) competent, (3) productive, (4) completely nuts ?
not tablets, but actually on a phone.
(last couple of samsung phones those were installed - or the icons at least - until I wiped them)

I have WPS office on my phone, and I do open DOCX and XLSX files on it - but only to read them, it's too much of a PITA to edit them at all.

I've used Word on a phone but it wasn't for writing a completely new document. It was to review one a coworker sent via email and make updates/changes to it.
(1) Not 100% happy, it worked but was missing options like change tracking which are also missing from Office Online, (2) I'd like to think so, (3) Most of the time, (4) Open to debate.

wow, normally I have problems changing 1 word in a text message (trying to get the stupid cursor to the right place with old bent fat fingers - anoying).
but I'm impressed somebody would actually edit a doc on a phone, always thought it was some sort of joke.
again I'm too old for that - at least that's my excuse [for anything too hard]:
for me stuff like that has to wait till I get home/actual office and can use a normal keyboard etc.

I'd never use it to create a doc or do serious editing, it's way to clunky for that. However for reading it is fine and making minor edits like changing a word or two isn't impossible.
Waiting to get home/office for a normal keyboard would still be my preference but sometimes I don't have the time or luxury due to one or two semi important customers and their randomly self created deadlines.

I use Outlook on a phone. I have also used Word and Excel to view (not edit) documents on my phone.
I agree that a full version of Word or Excel on a phone would be nuts; see my original message.
