I used to have so much fun back when cell phones had IR blasters. Changing channels and messing with people before it was common knowledge that you could do that on a cell. I wish phones still had that.
Back in the day when they were actually focused on putting features into phones instead of stripping them out...
RIP FM antennas, too.
used to have a FM tuner on the modem. International models do still carry modems with FM tuners on them. And the antenna was you headphone cord. Which is why it doesnt and won't work with Bluetooth..... And for all likely hood it won't work with USB c headphones either
RIP headphone jack 🫡
Swappable batteries was the big one for me
Oh man my LG V20 was great for this
The Redmi line still has ir transmitters afaik
I confirm. The kid in me made me buy it
There are still ways to do that. A friend of mine loves to mess woth Telas. He can open their charging door with a device.
Long before smartphones, Casio used to make an IR blaster watch. Nobody ever suspected the person checking the time was messing with the TV.
When the teacher took your watch at the beginning of class it was either test time or tv cart time.
GS4 owner checking in. That was the best phone I've ever owned for the year it was...
