I’ve got an S9+ and find most newer phones worse in some way or other. Either no expandable memory or no headphone jack. And I’ve already come to terms with losing my am/fm radio receiver and IR blaster. I intend to use this device until it becomes more expensive to repair than to just buy a new one.
Hopefully some manufacturer can notice there’s still a niche demand for these things by the time that happens.
Honestly I think my iPhone 15 was a downgrade in terms of battery life compared to my previous 13 with a slightly degraded battery. If it wasn’t for USB C I’d still happily have that phone. And shit if it wasn’t for getting a screaming deal on that 13 I’d still have my 8.
You’re totally correct and I forgot about that. My S8 could actually do more than the latest flagship if we consider the headphone jack and removable storage. So yeah… progress…
