#1549: xkcd Phone 3 explain
[An image of a smartphone lying down, with many labels pointing to it. There is a black stripe across the top left corner of the phone. At the top right something is protruding from the side, like a volume control. There is a wrist band (only partly shown) attached to the middle of each side of the phone. Above the screen are several small features, below only a central square and on the bottom a socket. Clockwise from the top left the labels read:]
2 AA batteries

Heartbeat accelerator
MobilePay money clip
Siri, or whoever it was we put in here
Instead of being on surface only, screen goes all the way through
