Literally just give us phones that can do what they could do 10 years ago, with modern batteries.

this. put the sensors, audio jack, notification led, ir blaster back!
And fuck off with the ai!
When I replaced my 5 year old phone the only two benefits I saw was OLED screen (never going without again) and the battery life going from maybe a day to like 40 hours
Insanely true, I didn't give a shit about 90% of the features on my new phone once my old one broke down and I got a Pixel 8, but I was delighted to go from a worn-out 12 hour battery life to a 64 hour battery life. I would actively like to uninstall any sort of current AI function from my phone if it could increase my battery longevity by even 1%.
Also: ew, Apple.
Edit: Really annoyed it doesn't have a headphone jack though
People have been asking for thicker phones with more battery for years. Wth
I totally forgot it even had that. The people I talk to only talk about the new side button.
I just bought two brand new three year old phones to replace the identical broken ones we currently have because the current models have less functionality for more than we plaid for these.
To get the same functionality cost twice as much.
And we still get three years warranty..
