Like a 3.5mm heaphone jack, expandable storage, replaceable batteries & a physical keyboard on my smart(sic) phone?
- doodlesdev 4y agoYes. https://www.nokia.com/phones/en_int/nokia-8110-4g https://www.nokia.com/phones/en_int/nokia-8110-4g Serious and not serious at the same time. My point is that demand is what drives change in a free market, people chose phones without a headphone jack, expandable storage and replaceable batteries so companies chose to sell what consumers wanted, if the demand for these things were so large then more companies would be producing devices with those. Also remember sometimes what people say is not really what they believe or how they act. I know being a techie it's kind of hard to have perspective on it, but as far as I see most people don't give a flying ** about these things, even though I do heavily agree that they should :)
- tunap 4y ago'Consumers' consume whatever is given, it seems. With the exception of the phys kb, each of those omissions lead directly to more control & revenue for the producer(s). Cheaper to build, as well. People did not "choose" to pay more for less, they take what is offered. When all/most manu's collude, it's not really a free marketplace, IMO.
