iPhones aren't sitting unused in a drawer forgotten like 99% of Flippers. There's nothing differentiating or polished about clicking one button versus clicking a different button to clone an RFID tag. I'd rather have cheapo version of 1 time use gizmos.
Design is way more important than just what things look like. But it contributes to a product's success in ways that are sometimes hard to measure. That's why engineer-driven company don't understand it and engineers (as a sweeping generalization) usually hate it.
You are correct, there is a mobile app interface for it.
You can check firmware version and device status, update it, have access to file manager, can backup keys, read logs, reboot, speed/stress test, and probably do a lot of other things that I am not aware about.
> I would think there would be a mobile app interface for flipper?
If you want to interact with the software on flipper zero you have to use the "remote" app (or whatever) on the phone. It kinda sucks though because it literally acts just like the physical device. If you wanna type a filename out and think having a full keyboard like on your phone would make that task easier... it doesn't. You are stuck using the fake "buttons" to move the cursor around to each letter just like you would on the device itself.
There is another possibility: that the Flipper gets an update with the order of a government.
For example, to reprogram or shutdown electrical systems in the house.
And then it will be a day to remember :D
