Honestly, save sync would be a major addition. Even if it just uses existing cloud infrastructure like Google Drive or Dropbox.

Glad you figured your edit out before you got too deep. Yeah, port forwarding is a tricky beast, because there’s no “good” way to do it. Either you have open ports exposed to the internet, or you have everything bouncing off of a third-party service. Neither option is great.

You can also scan PDFs directly into your Notes app. I use that during meetings, because you can mark on the pdf with your Apple Pencil, while also taking standalone notes alongside the document.

It’s handy for my line of work, where I’ll often need to do rough sketches alongside printed reports. I scan the report into my notes, then have room for the sketches in the same workspace.

The original GameBoy went for ~$90 retail when it first launched, which is worth ~$220 once you adjust for inflation from 1989. All things considered, a $250 price point is about on par with what people are willing to pay for a handheld.

Especially once you consider the fact that this is a relatively small business commissioning bespoke parts, and not the gaming powerhouse that Nintendo was when they launched the GameBoy; Nintendo was coming fresh off the massive successes of the NES and SNES. Nintendo had way more negotiating power against manufacturers, because they knew that they’d be selling hundreds of thousands of units, not just a few thousand. Manufacturers would be willing to retool entire production lines for Nintendo.

I think the buzz is more surrounding the speeds. Lightning was limited to USB 2.0 speeds, whereas USB-C can potentially hit 10Gbps speeds.
