My phone has two cameras. I hardly use 1.

User serviceability is intentionally not a focal point especially when it comes to anything a person has to use day to day. Any kind of tool or appliance- and especially electronic devices, forget about it. Luckily there are off the beaten path companies like framework and fairphone, but these are hard to market to regular joes and some are unavailable in a lot of regions.

Tech enthusiasts like presumably a lot of this comment section is are lucky there's at least something out there.

They're going to make the experience "better" by forcing you to talk to their AI to get anything done.

Walking around with new phone: "How do I turn on the flashlight? There no flashlight button in the pulldown menu anymore... OK Google how do I turn on the flashlight?"

"To turn the flashlight on or off you have to say, 'OK Google, turn on the flashlight' or 'OK Google, turn off the flashlight.'"

It'll start with small things but eventually they'll want to stop paying developers to add GUIs so they'll just force us all to use the AI.

If you want the good camera, you need to get the giant version of the phone.

If you want a phone that fits in human hands, you can only choose from subpar cameras.

Subscription to the camera on your own phone, capped # of photos per week and only basic adjustment/editing features for the entry tier.

The only things I need from my phone are:

  • Modem
  • Taxi apps
  • Forced upon 2FA SMS codes

Anyone who provides me with an alternative can just take my entire phone, fuck it.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
