greatest specs from five years ago. Of course many will chose the glued ond, and then some people will be like "welp, the free market has decided". 🤷

This whole practice infuriates me to no end. The market has never truly been given a choice in any of these changes since every phone worth buying has copied the others (removing headphone jack, replaceable batteries, SD card slot, no charger, etc) all around the same time. Never stops sycophants from telling the rest of us that nobody wants these features 'becuz da market sayz so.'
