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 feel like phones got good enough a really long time ago. I still sometimes pull out my motox 2013, it’s just fine. Just a bit small.

    Daily driver full Linux on a phone is the next step imo. Once that’s good, we’re done with the need for new phones. (Really, most people don’t need a new computer for like 10 years either)
