@darrenfrancisnews: 10/16: The Global Smartphone market just saw its worst quarter in recorded history… #breakingnews #technews #apple #financenews #economy
Phones have been solved for a while now. We’re all just using like 3 apps, don’t need a better phone to use them

New phones are pure awful. I took my new iPhone 17 pro max back and bought another new iPhone 12 Pro Max. The difference in the camera and utility is massive. In favour of the 12. The ai in the new phones made phone and camera rubbish.

The age of FOMO has run it’s course. Same thing happened with the pallettes of big screen tv’s over the years

(scream) :
Kind of maxed out utility. It's like cars. They're not getting better, and most of the newer features aren't helpful to people used to driving a particular way. I don't need any of the new features, and I'm not spending obscene amounts of money to have one.

Be wary of phone updates at this point. They will be looking at ways to get people to buy phones.

new phones are absolutely shite thats why, incredibly expensive with no real upgrades, ai fisted into everything (negative) and somehow more restrictive than old models

There's also the rare earth minerals from the Congo aspect, as well as Isreal somehow getting baked into the tech.

Thanks AI overlords - I bet they don't even use all the memory that the AI datacenters thought they needed. They just bought it to monopolize the market
