   When the phone industry runs out of innovation, they bring back old tech like flip phones. What next? Physical buttons/keyboards? How about longer battery life? Oh wait, that requires real innovation, time, and money.

     @nixCraft I've read (but not sure if it's true) that there is a EU regulation that makes it complicated / expensive to import/sell phones with more than 6000mAh of batteries. That's why that is currently the cap for a lot of asian manufactures. Some even put different batteries in phones in asia than for europe.

     I hate touch screens which don't react well to my fingers
     For a moment there was a nice big onscreen keyboard [android] for landscape orientation, but an "update" reverted back to the useless tiny one
     I'd love to be able to dock to my laptop to send/receive texts [telegrams]
     Enshittifacation indeed

     @nixCraft Innovation would be having my choice of operating systems, not having to chose between walled garden corporations
