This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The EU is mandating easily replaceable batteries from 2027.

Next is making one phone with all the bells and whistles and locking them behind subscriptions

A Slide out keyboard, but you have to give it $2 a day to use it.

While I do miss those things, my S23 Ultra takes fucking amazing pictures.

I must be a fkn weirdo because I just don't care about any of these things.

Replaceable battery is an exception - but that's coming back anyway.

I don't have any devices that use infra red

I don't need a microsd because the on board memory is so much I don't even have to think about capacity any more

I much prefer bluetooth

I much prefer a larger screen instead of buttons.

They didn't really cut a hole in my screen, they expanded my screen around my front facing camera. You can disable that expanded portion of the screen on most phones ?

I use the rear camera on my phone all. the. time.

Most of these gripes are solved by simply not buying the flagship and instead purchasing the $200 unlocked version.

Now the battery, that's the one that pisses me off the most. But at this point we've been doing it for 10 years.

I hate both phone types horribly. On screen keyboards are complete trash. Not only did Android take the SD Card, but even if you happen to have a manufacturer who still includes it Google has made it horribly inconvenient to use so you buy their shitty cloud storage that loses people's data. Among many other issues.

Unstoppable full screen ads you have to watch before you can answer a call or view a text on your own phone

You can still remove the micro sd, it's just hidden now.
