As an 41 year old, I’ve actually used rotary phones and classic handsets when I was younger. And damn do I miss them. There was a distinct enjoyment in being able to properly slam down a phone when you wanted to make a point. Same thing with flip phones: you KNEW when someone hung up in a huff. Can’t quite get that point across on a smartphone.
I also miss being able to properly shoulder a handset to keep your hands free.
As a 45 year old, damn do I not miss them at all.
i miss going out and not being connected, among people who also are just there in the present
i miss walking among people who are aware of their environment
Shit username though
Earbuds are the superior option.
Great for listening but every earbud I’ve tried has an absolute shit tier microphone because it picks up every ambient noise.
When you see someone smash their iPhone 27 giga max ultra on the ground, you know they’re hanging up in a huff.
Hey I think you mistyped "iPhone 27 plus pro max premium giga ultra: enjoy what android's had for years"
