Yeah, I tested the camera control with no case in the beginning just to make sure I was getting the full experience. And then when I put the Beats case on it, same deal. They did a great job. Like it really, really does. It doesn't feel any less precise or any more difficult or anything like that. And it's nice and flush. They did a good job.

It'd be great if third parties could have done the same thing. Although I did see one. Now, as you would imagine, my Instagram ads are 98% ads for iPhone cases and 2% ads for Marco's car. Yeah. But anyway, yeah, there is one third party case manufacturer. I forget what the name is.

It's like SU case or something or whatever, advertising the fact that they presumably will have like the courts pass through thing or whatever. Everyone else is just just has holes or they leave out that section of the case. But I feel like this is totally possible for third parties to do. Technologically speaking, they just didn't have enough information to implement it in time for launch.

So I'm hoping there will be third party cases that implement this. But Apple's implementation is it's really good.

it's it's i'm on i'm at the beach and it's over there in the mainland so all right well my case is coming on wednesday so next episode i will be able to tell you about the bull strap case but marco's tale of the uh the sloped pit on the peak design one does not fill me with hope because that's exactly the design that pull strap is using and we'll see how it goes

And then your fingerprints are all over your actual phone, and so are all the nicks and scrapes.

Speaking of the final thing on cases, this is a good time to refresh people who haven't been listening to the show for years and years. I always make reference to the naked robotic core idea. And for people who don't know what that is, it is the idea that I think I talked about back in the hypercritical days originally that you will make a product.

that omits as much stuff as possible because someone who buys your product can always add things to it, but they can't take things away. So for example, in the case of the iPhone, you can imagine making a smartphone that has a grippy rubber back on it that is not as slippery as the phones that Apple makes. But if you don't want a grippy rubber back,

And the phone comes with one, and that is literally the back of the phone. You can't remove that. So the naked robotic core theory is ship the smallest, most minimal thing possible, and then anybody who wants something can add it to it. But people who want nothing get the smallest minimal product possible. And it is a...

I don't know if Apple espouses this theory is a thing that I came up with to explain Apple's apparent design decisions on their phone. And I think they continue along those lines. And the specific instance with the iPhone 16 is I think Marco talked about this maybe in the past episode. Um, they're shrinking the bezels around the screen just year after year, millimeter after millimeter.

It's not like there was a big giant one inch border like there was in the original iPad. Like the border around the screen, uh, on the iPhone has always been pretty small, but I was like, no, we need to make it smaller. because that border is a thing that if you don't want it, you can't remove it from the phone. You can always add a border by putting a case on it.
