I was surprised when this story was published in my local newspaper and picked up internationally as Apple have been firm in their product segregation that they have no public plans to

(a) release an iPhone desktop dock (c.f. Samsung DeX) (b) merge iOS and macOS into one toolkit (UWP/KDE Plasma) (c) merge Macbook and iPad (Chrome OS tablet)

(Disclaimer: not being a current Apple customer, I'm sure Cook doesn't particularly care what I want. However I am comforted that others do think different.)
