How about instead of making nothing in the phone decent except the camera, we put more memory in the phones and make them usable for actual computing

Give me back my headphone jack. No one asked for fucking mandatory Bluetooth.

[–] ByteMe@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But we put more battery in it

You think a phone with 512GB storage and 12gb RAM is lacking? Phones should be way faster and snappier with what resources they have, Android and iOS are just bad in using what they have available

These days phones have a lot of ram. It isn't uncommon to see a 4gb phone.

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, and it's very sad.

Oh no we have lots of thermometers left over from Covid, how about we put them in your phone instead?

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That way I can use my phone for my favourite way to get my temperature!

I'll let you come up with a mental image of that, on the house

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

But you're not supposed to put things in your ear!

[–] MY_ANUS_IS_BLEEDING@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Because that's still very niche. Flagship phones have more than enough power for the vast majority of users and have done for years now. The cost/benefit analysis doesn't add up

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

Better not develop anything for the platform that needs any real processing power then, let's just keep phones as data harvesting tools and nothing more
