Three years ago I predicted Apple would remove wifi from phones and call it a feature.
So far, I was wrong. Thank fuck.

They seem to be all about wireless though. Things like the charging port, sim tray (do the latest still use physical sims at all?), and any remaining mechanical buttons seem like obvious candidates.

DRM Battery, you can only refill it the X amount of times that is paid for. Don't worry you can have it serviced for an exorborant fee, that will become another subscription.

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.

genuinely dont understand the logic behind having that many cameras. Surely it would just be better to have a singular better sensor, and some additional hardware for it?

Current smartphones are just vehicles to harvest people’s data. I hate the current smartphone market.

The EU is mandating easily replaceable batteries from 2027.
Profit motive is the enemy of quality.
In a utopia, everything's designed for compatibility and longevity.
All I want is no front camera, single rear camera and no glue to get to battery.
I am never buying an expensive Smartphone again. Just something that works for emergency calls and 2FA and lets me buy a ticket for public transport. I am not gaming on it, I rarely listen to music with it, I only have about 6 apps on it in total. Give me a long lasting battery and let me replace it. The only thing that I need is a big screen, because I am handicapped and have bad eyesight and it is easier to see and use the software if it isn't too small, otherwise I would prefer a smaller size and I give a f*ck how slim or thick the phone is or how water proof, non of my phones ever got even a tiny bit wet. In the 7 years I own my current phone I have taken about 50 pictures and 48 got deleted shortly after. I also do not need a lot of storage.
