I'm surprised that this whole "android vs apple" thing is still going on...

I’d argue that all phone innovation has been pretty stagnant or even regressive lately. I think the only feature that’s been released by anyone lately that I’ve wanted my phone to have has been the magnet on the back to make mounts and wireless chargers less complicated. How it took these companies that long to put a magnet back there is beyond me. Then Apple “innovated” by removing the headphone jack so they could make more money selling wireless headphones after they bought Beats and for who knows what reason, all of the android phone makers eventually followed. I can see the use of a foldable screen, but I’m not buying one until it doesn’t add a permanent crease down the middle of my unfolded screen. If someone releases a privacy focused phone that’s not tied to Google with four years of guaranteed, timely updates, has a big enough screen with no notch, headphone jack, and magnet on the back they can have my money.

What the fuck is a thread radio

Why would I want a folding phone? I want my phone to be as rigid as possible.

Hiding the front cameras is the only real innovation I guess, but Oneplus managed it in 2019 with the 7 Pro so it's not exactly a recent innovation.

Bring back physical keyboards!

My dream phone is iPhone hardware with ability to run whatever OS you want like Raspberry Pi.

Let's not give the Android manufacturers too much credit for innovation. My 6 year old LG V20 has more features than anything coming out these days.

Iphone does have some cool, closed garden things, eg, airtags.

Yes. Android has alternatives, none of which are nearly as good as airtags.

Huawei's new phones can make satellite calls and texts out of the box, much more innovative than the glyph gimmic from Nothing.
