Honestly if the next MacBook Pro has 4G LTE with Voice capability I’d seriously consider upgrading my current Mid 2014 Retina MBP and the flip phone. I really like the modular OLED touchscreen that replaces the function bar buttons on the most recent release but am not jazzed about the current AMD graphics card. Still, like I said It’d feel wasteful to replace my current rig before getting five years out of it.

What I don’t like about smart phones is that I’d probably either need reading glasses or to hold it at arms length to really use one for browsing. Right now the laptop screen sits at exactly the right distance and the physical keyboard is much better.

I only browse on the phone if I’m absolutely stuck with no other options.

I use my smart phone every day, a lot, and I’m willing to pay a reasonable amount for it, but it is not a functional computer in the same sense as a desktop or even a laptop and should be priced accordingly.

On-screen keyboards are acceptable for 140 character messages but nothing more.
