apple & china robbed us of so much, if you're a gadget guy.
i had sony phones, laptops, palm pilots, panasonic bit and bobs.
i get that technology has advanced infinitely in the last 20 years, but we are on a very narrow path at the moment.
Sony still makes phones, some super high end, bur their marketing sucks balls
As did their support - I had a p800 and p910, and while they looked cool, they were really not great compared to my original iPhone. Everyone here can romanticize all they want, but leaving symbian for ios was like a revelation; I can still remember the wonderment.
Its so cool to be contrary and hate the successful thing now, but nothing was “stolen”. You always had choice. Its not what was chosen though - that how evolution works.
Sony is the only company right now that has a flagship phone with great camera, removable battery, all the holes and comes in smaller sizing.
Yeah…and google had nothing to do with that. It was ALL Apple & China.
I’m sorry I didn’t mention your favourite brand
I’m an adult. I don’t have favorite brands.
What did China have to do with any of this?
Cheap mass production of electronics largely based on existing designs
Sounds like you're describing amazon
