I’m really intrigued by the video, and the concept but why? 10 years ago I would have loved it, but this guy is wayyyyyy too long.

I’m interested to see how this thing reviews. But, I think it is DOA.
It is way too expensive, especially to not have MagSafe magnets built in. It only works with the iPhone 14 and 15 which are the third and fourth generation of iPhones that have MagSafe.
The moment for physical keyboards on phones passed like a decade ago. For a phone form factor, a touch screen keyboard is going to be faster and less tiring to use in almost every case. And if you do want a physical keyboard, there are plenty of options that don’t cost as much.
It’s a very weird product decision IMO.
No way I’m personally typing faster on minuscule physical keys compared to a touch keyboard.
I said the exact opposite thing when touch screen phones came out lmao
Here I am 10-15 years in and I am absolutely certain I’d still be way faster on a physical keyboard. I used to blaze on my treo. On my iPhone, not so much.
Yeah I depend way too much on swiping, not to mention having access to tons of other symbols and emoji. macOS and Windows both have workarounds to this, but none of them are anywhere near as convenient and discoverable as a touchscreen keyboard.
I think this would be viable if it had MagSafe. It blows my mind that the company hypes all its design and engineering experience and has a very high case price point yet failed to add a couple of magnets.
Damn, Michael Fisher has really made a name for himself - remember watching him host on Pocketnow over a decade ago. Pretty cool to see he’s released a neat product!
Is it 2008?
I think the population has largely adapted to the on screen keyboard.
Also, thumbnail makes no sense. What does the keyboard have to do with the camera app?
I really want a physical keyboard, but I’m not sure I could manage with the length of this guy. I wish there was a folding phone with a physical keyboard out there.
I am so excited for this, a keyboard phone that actually gets updates!
Great idea! The iphone keyboard is horrible. Have always missed having tactile keyboard from blackberry days. Im in.

Didn’t someone make one of those a year ago and get shot down by patent trolls? Does Clicks have a plan for not succumbing to the same fate?
If I’m thinking of the same one, the problem was that the keyboard was a clone of the Blackberry keyboard. This one should be fine when it comes to patents.
