Smartphone buyers meh on AI, care much more about battery life - 9to5Mac
Apple may be pitching Apple Intelligence as a key reason to upgrade to the iPhone 16, but it seems that...

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
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)
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.
If it works with some custom software like GrapheneOS I'd buy this in a heartbeat
Not even out.of the box, just run nexus style - unlock if you want but support is now your own problem.
Which works for me regardless.
You know what would be good? Headphone jack, and great batteries yes, but how about something easily self repairable? Or shit replaceable batteries would be nice too.
