For me it's the small size. They are so big now I can't fit them in my pocket or use them with one hand.

80 cameras and nothing to do and no where to go
Here's my take on what phone companies will do next: replaceable batteries are back! With an inkjet twist:
1- You have to buy them precharged
2- You can no longer recharge them
3- The phone will explode if it detects a 3rd party battery
I bought a Sony Xperia 1 V mostly because of this. No hole on the screen, it has a 3.5mm jack and tooless access to its SD/Sim card tray
Sony does a lot of things right, but I'm not spending €1200 on a phone that gets a measly 2 years of updates. With that hardware and that price tag there's no excuse for that bullshit.
If you want the good camera, you need to get the giant version of the phone.
If you want a phone that fits in human hands, you can only choose from subpar cameras.
I use all four cameras. (one is a sensor)
Physical keyboard? Notification LED?
Controversial: it was much easier and safer to text while driving with a physical keyboard. You could type with one hand, hold the steering wheel with the other, all while still looking at the road because you could feel where the buttons were.
I'd still prefer you didn't do that
Controversial: Drinking while driving was easier and safer with a beer helmet since you can just sip directly from the straw instead of looking down to pick up the can.
They also gave us those things before they took them away.
Remember: you're beholden to the whims of capitalism until it's gone.
The manufacturer giveth and the manufacturer taketh away.
Who doesn't use all the cameras on their phone? Is there like a specific focal length you never use? Or are you unaware that zooming in the camera app switches lenses?
I rarely use the camera at all.
Then buy a smartphone that doesn't prioritize the camera
Name one
Subscription to the camera on your own phone, capped # of photos per week and only basic adjustment/editing features for the entry tier.
Google is already doing this with their photo editor app. All the new features require a subscription.
we need to make open source wireless communications infrastructure.
how?
idk the FCC is the major block as long as it's funded by telecom

Phone nerds are such losers.
One must recognize that if those changes were truly not popular they would not have stuck.
Not necessarily true. Sometimes a corporation is willing to continue with a bad choice in order to achieve some strange goal. Just look at Facebook absolutely going all in on Meta or Disney going ham on strange starwars choices.
I don't understand why everyone hates the notch, or especially the hole punch camera now. You could just disable the pixels next to the notch going back to a regular screen, and if you don't it's only extra screen space. Even more so with the hole punch. Why more screen bad?
Because front camera is not just a feature I'm forced to pay for, despite never using it once in my life, but now it also makes my experience shittier by adding a hole in my screen. I hate that.
