This started when we lost swappable batteries and it never stopped. Will never get over it either.
eSim is a good thing.
Sure, but current pixels support esim and regular sims. As someone who hops around phones often sim cards are unbeatable
Idk what you're experience with esim and switching phones is but Google Fi does it pretty much instantly for me. I've switched back and forth between my s21 and pixel 7 multiple times and never had an issue.
I disagree, but that's my opinion.
Why? It's like wanting a floppy drive when buying a new PC nowadays.
I'm exaggerating a bit, but physical SIMs will be redundant soon enough, no idea why you need a slot so bad?
You're exaggerating a lot. Floppy disks were barely in use 25 years ago.
I feel like a broken record at this point. So allow me to quote... myself
So what should it be then? Full size, mini, micro, nano?
This is not a new problem, if we keep relying on outdated technology, we'll get nowhere.
It's not outdated if it still works.
Soon phones are required to have replaceable batteries! At least in the EU
I had heard about that! Kinda nuts that America seems to just be universally doing the wrong thing about everything. We can't have nice things here, ever bc the worst people just want things to be worse.
Nah, the average consumer is kind of over it.
