Some current flip phones are even semi-smartphones today. This is so pedantic. That’s why I said “actual screen” because you can’t seriously compare the rudimentary screen of a flip phone to the touch screen functionality of an iPhone. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy 14,115 Posted Thursday at 02:06 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:06 PM Apple’s issue now is that they focus on trend and aesthetic *over* functionality whereas in the original iPhone, it was all relating to one another. It was a thin, flat screen with simple icons for ease of use and adoption. But what is the functional purpose of the flip feature? There isn’t one. This is the issue with their product designs and with many product designs these days that perform well in the market but ultimately have no cultural standing whatsoever (which would make them even better in the market btw). Their standing as one of the largest companies in the world has made them disinterested in the kind of grand innovation they were known for. It’s all branding at the end of the day, which is their bread and butter, but when the branding is only aesthetic deep rather than total product deep in a market beseeched with aesthetics (bc of Apple, mind you), what was once a signifier of refined status becomes a signifier of quick status which is to say, just one of the masses which is antithetical to the cool they want. But they’re lazy so they’re content with *cool enough to sell a lot* Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed a huge improvement when I turned it off. I only re-enabled it on my 16 for this beta and will be disabling it for this reason. It’s not a conspiracy to get you to upgrade lol i don't have apple intelligence on on my phone. i refuse to turn it on based on principle. i'm not having ai on my phone, siri's enough. everyone keeps saying "oh, he's back, he's back!" but the truth is i never left! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
