Funny how apple both steals 3-10 year old features from android and “invents” them, while also ringing the death nell for features on android phones 1-2 years after apple removes them.
Forcing wireless charging!
No physical buttons!
Requires an implant to use!

I appreciate wireless charging a ton, but I want an integrated dust cover for the USB port.

my old phone came with a case that had a sort of usb cover thing. so there’s that.
+1 One of my older phones met it’s end due to USB port failure.
Since then I use silicone USB port caps. They cost about 30c each from Ali express.

i mean I hate the expense but everything else being equal its much nicer to not have to plug in a plug. especially when it also acts as a holder and such.
Sure, but it’s slower and less energy efficient. I get the convenience of just setting it down, but not having a data port has enshittification benefits I would bet.

I have to laugh every time I see a “wireless charger” plugged into the wall with a USB C cable powering the charger. It has to be one of the most absurd things I have seen.
Only if you also buy the ear buds accessory, and it’s going to be proprietary.
Radio tuner was ripped away too. I miss being able to just tune into something when there was no data.
Ugh, I was just telling the youngins about the old phones with the IR blasters that let you control everything. Those were the days

Since S21 Ultra (depicted) Samsung took away:
- Replaced the curved back panel with sharp corners that are uncomfortable to hold
- Interesting colors because titanium is hard to paint
- Oem unlocking to flash custom roms
Headphone jack is when I started rioting. It may be five years before I’m free, but that IHOP will never be the same.

Right? My fingers are long enough my orthopedist thought I had the genetic condition that makes Michael Phelps a freak of nature, and even I can barely use it one handed.

2026 has been like a physical keyboard phone renaissance. For the first time in a while you’ve got options.
Offer me anything. Offer me money, offer me power, offer me everything I ask for.
I want my Nokia N900 back, you son of a bitch.
I shouldn’t have been allowed to have an IR blaster. No restaurant TV was safe.

Good, they should fear us! That and airport/doctor’s offices blasting Faux News…
I recently disconnected my phone from my car’s bluetooth because the experience was so awful, and I’m back to “iPod” mode over usb. Charging is slow, but almost every other experience is better. My wife’s phone is still connected, and every once in a while I’ll pull up to the house and immediately get the audio from her phone call that is going on inside the house transferred to the car.
