Remember replaceable batteries? Dang. What a time that was (for Android phones)

My Pixel 5 was all I needed until the battery started ballooning. Welp, it's hosed.

Does this guy not realize that phone screens are usually higher than 60Hz if you aren't buying from the cheapest possible options?

Also not sure what's bad about replaceable batteries or open source software, iOS is basically a lovely Linux fork anyway

no you see it's important to leave all that poo poo out otherwise the phone gets bulky and battery life suffers.

now to take a big sip of coffee and look at the ridiculous paving tile-rear end phone Apple are selling this year...

a shitton of people use sd cards on phones that have slots, the reason they removed them is so they could charge $200 more for 64gb more instead of someone buying a $10 64gb sd card

that dongle is impractical as gently caress and forcing the phone companies to include a sd slot is rad as gently caress

the iPod used to have an entire hard drive on it and somehow phones moved away from that, despite having much higher disk space use-cases than just storing music

I’m gonna out myself as an iPhone haver and just say we all know the deal when we buy them and it’s honestly part of the charm because we get to casually remind everyone we have the status product every single time we casually remark that oh no I need a special charger not the standard one

None of us are actually happy about what the EU is doing even if we mostly know we are being idiots and therefore keep our mouths shut

When are you from, 2009? These aren’t iPhone 3GS days, iPhones have deep mass-market penetration and there’s barely any status attached to an iPhone model, other than the latest flagship.

What the EU’s doing re replaceable battery is perfectly fine; battery life is by far the biggest reason for us to upgrade our iPhones. The other would be planned lag/obsolescence.

My understanding is that kids still use the green text thing to identify other kids for bullying, thus creating organic marketing for kids that might create lifetime customers. As long as that's true, Apple will fight any attempt to get rid of the green texts.
