I liked the People Hub that Windows Phone 8 started with. But none of the social media platforms wanted you to be able to use their services without seeing their ads so ...

Well, I suppose is old/discontinued, but my current phone has a motorized camera (Poco F2 Pro) I am not a selfie guy, so I could not care less about it, having no notches nor punch hole camera is nice AF.

You can even hide the navigation pill and mix it with some apps like Connect for Lemmy and you literally get 100% of content in your screen lol.

I miss them being small and slim. I still use my iPhone SE everyday for a music player. It’s the perfect size for a cell phone.

I thought I missed actually having buttons for things, but recently I found out that no, touch screens are usually superior.

Notifications that don't take up a big chunk of your screen.

I remember when notifications were just little icons at the top of the screen that represented the app, not three or four lines of text, or a picture, that let everyone nearby know what it's about.

I've had times in the past where I've been playing with my kid on the phone, or reading a book or something, and a friend will message me something inappropriate. It opens on the top of my screen before I can do anything about it, and for no reason. I have to open the app anyway to see the full message.

SIM card trays for sure.

I have a friend that will only use a flip phone physical keyboard + smart phone features. I don't really care and miss nothing.

So basically a pin? But the screen can be off?
