They also keep taking away features, like removable storage (microSD) and headphone jacks. There’s a few phones that have them, but it gets more difficult to find them as time goes on.
I would like colourful phones back though, they were so much more fun compared to the sea of black/white/grey + ONE option in the blue-purple spectrum we have today.
Can we get that AND bigger batteries?..bigger colourful batteries even?
Steve Jobs proved that consumers don’t actually know what they want until you tell them. And it’s the manufacturers job to tell them what they want and deliver it.
Since Apple doesn’t want a bigger battery that means no one gets a bigger battery.
@AbsoluteChicagoDog@Alphane_Moon nobody has been asking for bigger batteries, people already cry about the weight as is. Apple switched to using a titanium frame just to drop a few grams of weight because people were crying about the weight. So, no, people haven’t been asking for bigger batteries, they have been asking for devices that last the day and then some, which we currently have. You also have the ability to recharge your battery to full in about a half 1 🧵
2010: We want bigger batteries, they give us colorful phones
2015 We want bigger batteries, they give us 1mm thinner phones
2020 We want bigger batteries, they give us 5 cameras
2025 We want bigger batteries, they give us AI
Phones are a great example of the utter failure of capitalism to address what people actually need and want.

Create a problem, sell a solution. It’s so annoying.
headphone jack -> sell bluetooth headphones
microSD -> sell cloud storage
Late stage capitalism
Under the guise of “innovation”
Sony Xperia flagship has both. I think it’s the only Snapdragon 8g3 phone that does.
@Zerthax @AbsoluteChicagoDog some people just refuse to live in the now and would prefer to stay in 2014. What a shame.🤦🏻♂️
@Zerthax They’ll say they are responding to consumers who “want cloud storage and wireless headphones,” but options are always better, in my opinion.
*folds phone in half*
That’s two batteries for the price of one.
More like two batteries for the price of two phones; foldables are still expensive AF
Two half-size batteries for the price of three full-size phones coming right up
