Anyone else remember then being the cool new thing instead of a mandatory one?
I remember when it was socially unacceptable to be glued to your iPhone when you go out with people.
I remember them being big stupid bricks that nobody would be caught dead with.
But, then again, i’m 52 and didn’t see the internet until my second year of college.
I want my jailbroken iPhone 6 back.
That thing was sick. Simpler, yet more customizable than iOS currently is.
And I realize everyone probably has a “things were better back then, shakes fist” opinion, but I have reason to believe my exact setup would blow kids’ minds, transported forward in time.
…Other than the camera. For sure. I’d give kids a mirrorless camera to go with it, and it’d still be cheaper than a modern top end iPhone.

At some point, we have to start admitting that things were just better before. A lot of technology/software peaked ~15 years ago. Before it started sliding into the fucking mess we have these days.
Yep went down hill after the BlackBerry Storm
Oh man, full keyboards… A dream
That company just rolled out the physical keyboard add on. I’m very lazy, but if pressed I will dig up a link
I’ve been looking into a new phone, and I’m seriously considering one of those “Unihertz Titan” ones with the physical keyboard.
There was a brief moment when there was a tech being talked about that would shift the glass coating to give tactile feedback on a touchscreen…
Going back to something I might finally stop having to completely relearn from changing phone sizes, just sounds better somehow, even though they arent perfect.
