So the age of enshittification continues.

Apple is working on IPhone Air, which is rumored to be 5-6mm thick. I am sure Samsung will follow suit.

Why the fuck can't I have a simple bloody phone which just works for calls, texts and I can hold it without it feeling like cutlery.
I do not want to play games on a 6" device and give myself carpal tunnel.

I have switched to S22 Flip phone (dumbphone), it works flawlessly, lasts for days on a single charge.

Nobody is waiting on a even flatter phone. One reason I like my old x270 laptop for example is that it still has a decent thickness and decent keyboard. I don't want those low travel tip keys just for the sake of having a flatter laptop. Laptop is already slim enough for not having wrist issues. So what's still the point. Use the room left for decent cooling or smth. F the skinny bitches with hard blowing fans. That's most hated thing #1 in my eyes.

Back to phones, I love the thickness of my Samsung S20. Feels good. I'm not really convinced for a folding phone yet. I've watched LTT about it and the screen scratch easy according to them and I do not really like how they bent currently. They're a bit sensitive also is the word. But the concept is fine. It can be that my opinions regarding the folding phones is outdated by now? Should I watch a new review of a specific model?

I hate folding phones, I don't get the appeal of having a flip phone with larger screen. I think Moto Razr (the one launched in 2000s) was just perfect.

I think I should have clarified, I have a Cat S22, not Samsung. It is a dumb phone which runs on Android Go.

God I miss the headphone jack. There is no decent Type C to 3.5mm converter. Plus I cant charge my phone when listening to music.

I want to listen to music when I want to. I don't want to charge a bunch of devices all the time.

Didn't this happen with samsung already? They made phones so thin they literally bent in peoples pockets when they sat down. Why repeat the same mistake again with apple this time?

I think the software needs far more help than the hardware these days

@mangodb As long as there are alternatives - and according to your rant, there are - what exactly is the problem?

Personally I think that planned obsolescence is the real problem.

@mangodb meh, those devices these days charge fast and last long. I was a cable fan too but now I'm way happier with Bluetooth. My cables always died and the volume of Bluetooth headset seems to be higher. Charging stuff is just some discipline.

@Lensflare The problem is we're getting a lot of inferior shit for a lot more money which doesn't even last.
The only decent value for money phones right now are possibly Fairphones and CAT phones. It is just sad that there are so few options. I don't like to change phones unnecessarily, just a personal preference.
