Yes because those phones by comparison do nothing so it’s a meaningless comparison.
It’s like arguing that we shouldn’t be impressed about EV range improvements because the bicycle exists.

- threeseed 2y agoSo most people make heavy use of applications like TikTok, Instagram, Facebook etc, take photos and videos, real time video calling, getting directions etc. All whilst on a colour, high-resolution screen orders of magnitude better than the Nokia phones. Acting like physics doesn’t exist and we should be able to get a month long battery life whilst doing all of the above is idiotic. No other way to describe it.
- bdhcuidbebe 2y agoWell i use none of those apps, and I made a point about 25 years of technical progress, not heavy phone usage. I see it got you riled up for some reason, but I cannot see why.
