It used to be a pocket computer, now its just a mini-prison-cell.

If anyone is using a flagship phone, consider just getting a cheap $100 android phone then spend the rest of the money you would’ve spent on a flagship on a portable PC instead

This is the route I went years ago. Not only do i not feel like lugging around an obnoxiously long buttonless 1kg remote control, within two months the display will be shattered because I sneezed, and I will have to buy a new one because replacing the screen costs as much as a new phone.

I know they do that shit by design. Why would the back side of the phone need to be made of fucking glass? It’s literally the only reason I ever buy new phones, they never break, and they never survive long enough to be “too old” to use.
