2010: We want bigger batteries, they give us colorful phones
2015 We want bigger batteries, they give us 1mm thinner phones
2020 We want bigger batteries, they give us 5 cameras
2025 We want bigger batteries, they give us AI
Phones are a great example of the utter failure of capitalism to address what people actually need and want.
*folds phone in half*
That’s two batteries for the price of one.
I would like colourful phones back though, they were so much more fun compared to the sea of black/white/grey + ONE option in the blue-purple spectrum we have today.
Can we get that AND bigger batteries?..bigger colourful batteries even?
Do people here actually use AI? And if so…for what?
I use it to summarize things for me. Or rewrite something I’ve written a bit better. I usually need to spot check it, but it’s still nice to have.
It would be mice to have better battery life.
2008 and onwards.
Still got to feed the mice if you want to keep your battery topped off. 😉
It feels like yesterday some guy was arguing against me here on Lemmy about my personal choice of wanting a longer battery life.
WELL LOOK AT ME NOW BRO
No bro, it’s totally better to get 5-6 hours of battery and AI cause like it’s so incredible bro
Your battery’s still short of 4 hours. 😁
Battery usage:
- 86%
- 3 days ago (last charge)
- 18 days left
That’s what I currently have with close to no usage. With usage it’s around 10 days in total. When using GPS it depends.
Wait, your phone battery lasts 18 days?! Is it a Nokia flip phone?
It’s an Oukitel.
Oukitel
Wow, that’s nuts! I have never heard of them, but that is super cool, and I’m glad I know about them now. Thank you!
I don’t get what those companies try to achieve by automating writing (by spewing statistically probable prose), reading (by badly summarizing text cobbled from excerpts without the ability to make any sense of it), art, photography, music, all standardized to the lowest common denominator.
I’m not buying a new device that will try to impose any of this hype. For now, Apple has decided to “punish” the users in the European Union by holding the Apple Intelligence features hostage. FINE BY ME!
edit: typo/phrasing
Yea. There are very few machine learning driven features that would actually improve my life in a meaningful way. I feel much more „punished“ by the omission of iPhone mirroring on mac than any Apple Intelligence feature.
Serious question: What would you do with iPhone mirroring? Because I have it, and I have no idea what to do with it.
Having it open on my mac while I’m working on it so I can access message apps that don’t work on the desktop without having to take out my phone.
In all fairness, it’s not really necessary, but it‘d make my life a little easier for a use case I actually have.
I’m guessing you are using 3rd party message apps? If so, that makes perfect sense. Work smarter, not harder.
Yea. Although I do use iMessage with a few people, it’s not really a big thing here in Germany, so I also do use different apps. The main app, that requires me to get out my phone, is Snapchat, as there’s no desktop app and the webapp sucks.
Literally just give us phones that can do what they could do 10 years ago, with modern batteries.
My ideal would basically be a modern version of the lg v20 - give me that removable battery, headphone jack, microsd slot, etc and just give me the current gen on chipset, screen, camera, etc.
No AI, no preloaded nonsense I can’t get rid of, I don’t care that it could be 0.000004mm thinner without the jack.
Its never been about what the consumer wants, its about driving “features” that will make more profits.
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
I just want both the Touch ID and the Face ID on my damn phone…
That’s an interesting take. Thinking about it, I think I agree with you.
I just got a 16 Pro. I still have my 7 Plus. Form factor of 7 plus is still the best of any of the iPhones, for my money. It feels THE best in-hand.
Give me back my physical keyboard, and I’ll be happy alongside better battery life (or removable batteries).
The last thing I want is a phone I can mistake for a table mat when I’m tired, which I feel is how phones are going. What’s the new average screen size now? 27" or is that next year’s model?
Meh, phisical keyboards are a pain if you think how much hardware failure you add. At least now if you know what you are doing, you can keep alive a phone for a decade with custom roms
I just want a persistent number row. There’s plenty of room. Why can’t I have that, Apple? What possible benefit is there to anyone, of you holding that back?
I miss the formfactor of my Nokia E7…
My favourite keyboard was on my BlackBerry Bold 2.(9700 I think was the model number). The keys were shaped in a way that made touch typing an absolute breeze with the perfect amount of tactile feedback.
When I replaced my 5 year old phone the only two benefits I saw was OLED screen (never going without again) and the battery life going from maybe a day to like 40 hours
People have been asking for thicker phones with more battery for years. Wth
I just bought two brand new three year old phones to replace the identical broken ones we currently have because the current models have less functionality for more than we paid for these.
To get the same functionality cost twice as much.
And we still get three years warranty…
I totally forgot it even had that. The people I talk to only talk about the new side button.
Insanely true, I didn’t give a shit about 90% of the features on my new phone once my old one broke down and I got a Pixel 8, but I was delighted to go from a worn-out 12 hour battery life to a 64 hour battery life. I would actively like to uninstall any sort of current AI function from my phone if it could increase my battery longevity by even 1%.
Also: ew, Apple.
Edit: Really annoyed it doesn’t have a headphone jack though
