    It feels like yesterday some guy was arguing against me here on Lemmy about my personal choice of wanting a longer battery life.

    WELL LOOK AT ME NOW BRO

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

          I want it to be like the glory days of the Note 8/9. You want a FP reader? Its on the back and it works really well! You want Facial recognition? How about iris scans as well! Notification LED, aux jack, and a Pen built right in! Not enough storage, pop in a MicroSD. Only thing that was missing was easily swapped batteries! It all went downhill from here imo

    I think the battery system that’s best for everyone would be user-replaceable batteries. That way you can have an extra battery on hand to swap in as needed, or even extra-capacity batteries that make your phone a little thicker for people who are okay with that.

    Those of us who do actually prefer thinner, lighter phones can still have them (maybe with a slight increase in thickness to accommodate the attachment mechanisms). Plus bigger batteries are a huge waste of resources if the capacity isn’t going to be used.

    I still would take an extra mm for more battery life. At this point it’s no difference if it’s a bit thinner.

    They’re pushing AI so hard but most people just see it as a gimmicky thing. The only people who care are the investors.

    Oh wow shocking, people actually cared more about usability than trashy feature? That’s unheard of

      I use it to summarize things for me. Or rewrite something I’ve written a bit better. I usually need to spot check it, but it’s still nice to have.

        rewrite something I’ve written a bit better

        Woah, that’s the biggest bummer of a reason I’ve seen for it. If you read good stuff and write stuff you’d get better at it.
