Remember when Apple was about to release the iPad and Student Wife (2016)everyone hoped that it would be some sort of futuristic tablet-laptop hybrid?
That never happened. Apple kept its tablet and laptop product lines separate, down to the operating system. But a new concept device by ikoncept/ConceptsiPhone once against makes us pine for this mythical, ultra-versatile hybrid.

It supports the Apple Pencil and has cameras on both front and back (though it's unclear where, exactly, the front camera is hidden, as there is no visible notch in the screen).

Now, for all this to become possible, we'd need to see several big technological advancements, especially in the area of OLED screens. Based on previously released patents, Apple is definitely looking into building something similar, but we'd be very surprised if we saw a device like this on the market within this decade.
