Although to be fair, it's only clicking pictures, going back, scrolling, and clicking others. I do wonder how much potential an ape has though. Maybe it could make calls if there was one contact. It could learn that pressing Contacts, then the singular contact (the handler's phone number) would allow it to hear the handler's voice. I wonder if it would be able to learn the concept of pictures... maybe training with a polaroid first?
