With apple’s recycled event, I’ve come to say I’m sick of phones.
Phones are already “perfected”. They can call. Run apps.
We really need to focus on efficiency. E.g, lowering price, increasing battery life, improving software
But nooo. Add a bunch of extremely minor features with a 50% faster chip so you can watch ads at 1080p instead of 720p. I don’t care! Give me a phone that’ll last me 5 years and has a battery life that lasts a week. I don’t need this crap every year. Why do we live in a situation where people think they need to buy a new phone yearly?!
I say a phone should get at minimum 5 years of software support.
I support your rant.
They should be like good desktop PCs that you can keep for a decade and upgrade / replace parts in easily.
My 2nd smartphone, over 10 years ago, was IP67 waterproof rated yet still had a removable battery and microSD card slot and headphone jack. They can do all of those things at once, despite what they say now about having to remove those features to make it water resistant.
I still have that phone, and it still works but runs android 2.3
