    The public voted with their purchases and this is what they wanted.

    Eventually most products settle into a baseline normal and innovation slows dramatically. It’s not just phones that do this.

    There are plenty of phones out there that are weird and different but most people ignore them and they don’t get the same attention. Think rog phones, flip and fold phones, fair phone, sony’s camera focused phones no one wants to buy.

    Not too mention this list is for what you should buy, which is really the word experimental phone.

    It’s a strange mentality that almost everyone time phone are brought up people so for absolute innovation. A full on game changer. Most of these already do exactly what we want incredibly well. There isn’t much room for a game changer. Innovations will be less dramatic, more subtle.

    No one is going to buy a round phone, or a squiggly phone, and curved screen edges or curved phones never did well. So rectangular it is.

    Enthusiast features rarely stick around cus most people don’t need those features or the features get rolled into something else. Headphones jacks and HDMI and so on can ask be integrated into USB C and for most that’s good enough.


  • They have is ways to socialize online (reddit, Twitter, fb) and then people realized they could use them as a tool for good. They could organize, spread the word about bad companies and people, encourage others to do good, and so on. People could even turn on the platforms when those platforms corrupted.

    So yeah, the billionaires in control don’t like it that we have ready ways to call them out. Elon was pissed about people tracking their flights on Twitter and bought the platform and it’s running it into the ground. Why not. He loses nothing and gains everything.

    I think we’ll see this happen a lot more. Billionaires control everything and then we act surprised when they shut people out that expose them.


  • I do like the bar. It’s a step in the right direction instead of just bumps or lenses sitting there.

    It’s weird to me they don’t just make phones wedge shaped. Told the screen towards you when laying on the table. Let’s flat. Protects the lenses. Provides more space for whatever. Doesn’t drastically make the phone bigger. It’s a win I’m all cases as far as I’m concerned.
