Samsung has a "DeX"-åroduct that aims to do this:

Would be nice if there was a standard so, any USB c phone could plug into a display - along with the display acting as a hub, and/or Bluetooth for keyboard.

[ed: for desktop/dock. See sibling for sentio - which is for turning phone into laptop]

This product is too obvious and to doable for it to that far off, so hopefully a bit more patience is all we need.

you mean this? https://www.sentio.com/

In android world, the concept is alive & well. I myself use the sentio desktop app to connect to a monitor and use a bluetooth keyboard/mouse.

And imagine if you could plug in multiple phones.

I’m convinced Apple is working towards something like this.

Why would they turn your phone into a laptop when they can sell you a Macbook?

Because less people are buying macbooks and maybe you will by a macdock instead?

exactly, it is hard to believe a dock would cannibalize the macbook market

Could cannibalize the iPad market instead
