I’m just imagining an alternate universe where Apple releases Lens Faces (big camera backs that attach with MagSafe).

While 3rd parties could do it today with MagSafe and Bluetooth, nobody would be able to compete with Apple’s OS level software integration. Attaching a camera back to your iPhone would be as seamless as when you put AirPods in your ears. Then it could automatically open the Camera app.

This won't happen: it would be neat if Apple had BIG camera packs you could swap in & out onto the magsafe portion. It would use wireless pairing for data transfer & power so the performance wouldn't be the best. Just imagining an ecosystem of large, swappable camera units (that go on the back of the iPhone) is fun.

I definitely have my phone in my pocket when I go on a coaster. My phone doesn't slide out of my pockets.

Having a phone is super useful since you spend the first 95% of the "ride" in line. Having your phone to pass the time, lookup ride information, contact other ppl, etc. is just plain useful.

Time for Apple to add Roller Coaster Mode. /s

It would be yet another mode, like Theater Mode (watch) or Airplane Mode.

Yeah I have a suction mount for my phone. Considering how heavy the Pro/Pro Max models are... it doesn't take that much for the weight of the phone plus a hot day to cause the suction to fail. This causes the mount (with my phone) to come crashing down.
