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

this. put the sensors, audio jack, notification led, ir blaster back!

And fuck off with the ai!

LED notifications and physical keyboards. I miss my Blackberry

God me too. I feel like such a luddite whenever I bring this up. Touch screen keys even with swipe to text are terrible

It can be helpful when you use multiple keyboard layouts

I just want both the Touch ID and the Face ID on my damn phone…

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

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

That's an interesting take. Thinking about it, I think I agree with you.

You know, almost every phone still has an ir blaster... It's just not made Available to you.

(Auto focusing in cameras is largely done via an ir blaster and corrisponding receiver)
