i don’t understand innovation anymore
No phone, you just give apple, samsung, or Google $1000 dollars and they stamp your forehead.
I got a really good quality BT headphones, and in a vacuum they’re equivalent to wire, but not only is having to charge my headphones seriously lame but there’s a few places on the walk from my house to the store where the connection between them and my phone gets really bad and they basically become unusable for about ten minutes. Also, the connection lags out every time I turn my phone on or off or adjust the volume. Also the first second or so of every song gets cut off on BT. Fuck Bluetooth, it’s a fucking garbage standard that’s beaten by wire in every single possible way.
I use my headphone jack for several hours a day pretty much every day. I will never buy a phone without a headphone jack
I have a feeling that eventually I won’t have the option to buy a phone with a headphone jack.
fuck I sstill wish slideout keyboards were a thing. Maybe I’m just of an older generation, but I could touchtype on those while walking and not have to look down at the phone, If I try to do that with a modern phone watjirever ikmk trhpoing usujallkty ernds uhoip lioke thios
I started using Motorola phones for this reason. They are one of the few that have said they plan to keep using them. I like their “one” series. They have massive batteries in some of them too. I only charge my phone once every 2 days and that’s just to keep it above 40%. Could probably go 3 days and be ok.
I dunno, I got some lightning-port noise-cancelling earbuds from Meh for $40 and they’re pretty neat. No batteries.
But fuck this no-port nonsense.
Those fold-over covers some cases have should be standard. Big sides, screen covered, everything in that grippy texture that makes your phone look like an overpriced “tactical” gunmod.
Just make phones invulnerable already.
I just want to be able to put a damn case on it in general at this point. Fuck all this “wrap around the edge” bullshit that’s being done. I’m a clumsy dumbass. I drop my phone. Sometimes it lands on the corner, sometimes it hits the edge of a table with the edge of the phone. Sometimes it lands face flat. I need protection from as many angles as possible.
Yet another good point. Hell my hands sometimes curb around the edge and hit the front of the screen and cause problems lol. Like why would I make this issue 100 times worse?
Let’s seeeeeee
- No wired headphones, even with a dongle
- No charging with someone else’s charger unless they happen to have one of those stupid conduction pads
- No high speed data transfer
- No data transfer period to devices that don’t have Bluetooth
- Rounded glass sides are extremely slippery and fragile, which sucks because the phone
- Is not compatible with a case, and
- No screen protector can wrap around corners unless it’s some cheap plastic
This is all Deng’s fault. :deng-stoned:
