Here in the EU the removable battery will make a comeback. So it will probably be worldwide.

I’d trade half the camera lenses on my phone just to have a headphone jack and a micro sd slot again. Life was simpler

My fairly new phone still has a headphone jack and an SD card slot, they exist still. The rest are gone tho.

Fairphone has already removable batteries.
I am thinking about a headphone jack that is a Bluetooth adapter… It’s sounds ridiculous and funny. But it wouldn’t be a that hard I guess

I seriously need and want them back

The lack of jack was the reason I held off on getting a new IPhone for so long. My 6S plus was used for almost 6 years until I had to reluctantly get my 12

TV remotes still mostly use IR.

Removable batteries would be amazing

Sony still gives you some of those. Too bad they don’t sell in America at all. Even when they’re available.

Innovation today is just taking away things we use and selling them back to us as ‘Pro’ features.

My IR blaster was SO useful.

Simple solution, stop buying new phones.

Don’t miss any of that only thing worth keeping with the memory card

The only company that does all of that in their smartphones is Sony. Guess how many they sold since they released the first Xperia 1? Not as much as the current iPhone lineup.

Had to search hard to find a phone with the SD card slot still in it!

The only thing wrong with my 6+ generations old phone is the battery lasts like. No time at all.

Removable battery and sd slot are the only ones worth it these days.
Most newer Samsung TVs have Bluetooth remotes now, can control the tv from anywhere in the house and the smart things app to just use your phone too.
And wireless head and earphones last weeks now on a single charge, so not even an issue either.

I miss my G1 and my Sidekick. I miss all of those features, but I miss having a physical keyboard the most.

If the Samsung S26 had an IR blaster I would have bought it so fast.

So… If you have a buddy that’s anyhow into electronics he can probably change the battery in your phone. I know because i am this person. Suprisingly it’s quite easy to do in iPhones. Samsung and iPhones use literally the same method but iPhone’s low build quality makes it easier, while in Samsung i am afraid i will pull whole phone out of the housing.

Okay but batteries aren’t that hard to replace if you know how to

I’m still salty about the death of a great universal remote. On the other hand, I feel like home theater setups are dying. I don’t think as a whole, people care as much about audio quality, which, in turn, hurts the idea of a great universal remote.

man, atleast sd card slot and 3.5 jack 😢

IR blaster so you can mute every waiting room TV that’s playing just as loud as the radio which is, stupidly, also on.
