In this case apple do this because Meta are abusing.
There are some cons:
- some users report text gets blurred out if used under direct sunlight for a long time. I don't use it outside so I'm not affected
- sometimes the BLE connection is sketchy. I'm not sure if it's hardware or software problem
- the editor features are very barebone so you may want to customize your own version
- beware there are unflashable edition of this device
I heavily customized the source code with llm so I can use emacs style keybindings and search.
OTOH I have used my iPhone pro max for development for a long long time. The trick is to use a always-on linux VPS pairing with many excellent terminal emulators on iPhone (e.g. blink.sh).
Essentially I'm using iPhone as a thin client to visit a true linux development machine, and both of them play their roles perfectly. While other solutions while trying to be both roles with a single device failed miserably.
