Just an iPhone with at least one week battery time, with bezels, no wrap around screen, non foldable and a camera/mic you can physically cover/disable and mini size so that it easily fits in your pocket (and doesn't stick out).
 
This sounds like a practical nightmare to me. I already have a hard time just holding my phone sometimes without accidently activating some function, cause the screen is covering the entire front.
 
All I want is a phone that uses its cameras to sense the surrounding environment and modifies its display for camouflage so I have an excuse when I lose my phone. Is that too much to ask for, an invisible iPhone?
 
It’s just a digital overlay at the top of our screens. It currently works around the existing ‘island’ around the Face ID and camera hardware. Remove those pieces of hardware and a Dynamic Island can still be created in the same style/shape/format as the current one. One potential advantage is there’d be room for some new animations — disappear from the centre, break up into multiple parts, etc. since there would be no hardware limiting the options.

No island, sign me up. The only other thing I would ask for is a slightly larger screen, say 7". Maybe an adapter to use an external portable i-satellite antenna through USB C when using in remote locations for emergency use.

Do you not like sports? Did you pay attention to the November election? You can’t survive without Island.
 
Are you suggesting something like:

“iPhone (Late 2027)”
“iPhone Pro Max (2027)”
“iPhone SE (Mid 2027)”, for example?

I could get used to that. Or did you mean something else?
Literally anything besides iPhone 23.....
