to this day i can't get over how stupid it was to remove the headphone jack from phones. now if you want to use wired headphones you have to use the charging port. and then they made a stupid little external adapter you have to plug in that sticks out of your phone and advertise it as Hey now you can listen to music AND charge your phone at the same time! what an innovation! if only we could have done that before! the thing i want most from these increasingly sleek and efficient shapes and designs is to have a bunch of external bullshit sticking out of it to make it as clunky as possible! next they will remove the call function from your phone entirely and in order to make phone calls you will need to attach it by a twirly cable to an external keypad that plugs into the wall, and to enhance the speaker/microphone you'll be able to set your nice neat rectangle into a banana shaped device that sits nicely against your ear and mouth. and that's what we call innovation
#tbis is not an elegantly worded post im sorry i am too grumpy to make this like a well formed joke#it's just stupid. it's just so fucking stupid#removed from what i personally want as an individual consumer it is just bonkers bananas to be like#oh we're trying to streamline our design and make it simpler and cleaner#so we've removed essential pieces and now you need external add-ons#isnt literally the entire point of creating a multifunction device that i need to carry less shit around to make it work#no. of course not. im stupid. the point is to sell as much shit as possible#you know new phones dont even come with a fucking wall adapter anymore#rookposting#old man yells at reasonable grievance
