 The two way pager in title text might be a reference to black holes, under the assumption that they act as worm holes to other regions in spacetime. It could explode and leave behind a slowly fading PalmPilot
 (netron star), Calculator(brown dwarf), Two way pager (blackhole). [[Special:Contributions/108.162.217.125|108.162.217.125]] 15:14, 17 September 2014 (UTC)BK
+:And what about white dwarves? That is, if the phone is light enough, it shall turn into the analogue of a white dwarf. Or shall one just read brown as white? Also, white/brown dwarves are not the final state, a calculator may ultimately fade to the point of illegibility (black dwarf).

+:The phone does not expand there, it merely overheats (and leaves nothing more than a nonfunctional phone) from an update, while in ''this'' comic, no update is mentioned, instead, it's charging that causes the phone to decay faster.

 Reference to the iPhone (and may be other smartphones) which becomes bigger and bigger with every release. At the same time iPhone becomes less popular and it is 'dying' this way. So - the bigger iPhone becomes the closer it is to 'death'. And it was like a star among other smartphones.
 In the title text it may be a jesting prophesy - one on future generation of iPhone will be like a set of some separate devices.

 :: I had a similar interpretation of a symbolic equivalency between the iPhone and a star (playing on the double meaning of "star" — the celestial body, and that of someone or something that has great fame). Though, not with it getting bigger with each version, but rather within the lifespan of each version (each version grows in fame until it dies with the release of the next version).
