there’s no need to innovate anymore. but capitalism has no endgame. a done deal doesn’t get commodified, rather ruthlessly squeezed. resources wasted. there’re so many things that still need solving but this isn’t one. erry1 should just get smth like an iphone 11. cheap + routine

i’ve had a red iphone 11 for 4.5 years and i rly think phones are solved now. there’s nothing more to ask for

like ye the screen’s burnt, the battery needs changing. i want the flexibility of getting files off that android gives. none of the monopoly of lightning or webkit [1/5]

but if u put the tech and reliability together then it’s done. i could take these kinds of pictures the rest of my life. read things off this touchscreen slab i dreamt of aged 10 in 2005. it doesn’t weigh my hand down. i can use the internet freely, for cheap

there will still be improvements but i feel like night mode photos were the last great breakthrough, justifying putting an end to phone consumerism

my life before that i was always hoping for better from phones. but no more

otoh other tech is rife with shit that needs fixing

lcd monitors are dogshit, oled doesn’t rly work. linux is dogshit. free personal self-hosting of photo albums isn’t quite here yet. video codecs are a dystopia. there’s still nothing like http://what.cd for old music/films/video games cos copyright lasts too long [5/5]
