>>57562295you're failing to consider a simple truth: People hate smartphones.
They bring out negative emotions, they're linked to work, obligations, social anxiety, addiction(s), and disassociating.
As a matter of fact, Smartphones are awfully designed devices- they don't look or feel like they're made with the human being in mind.
From the form factor to the ergonomics of it, why is it a slab of glass with somewhat sharp edges?
Whose hands does that fit well? Is it comfortable? Easy to use? Is it even cool looking?
It fucking sucks, it's boring, and people have to live attached to it like it's a parasite.
At least in Japan they have Flip-Smartphones, and flipping your phone to answer or close a call is just a cool gesture, it's like a smoking coolness buff, meanwhile smartphones make you look retarded, fumbling with this slippery pebble of glass with both thumbs because it's too big to be operate single handedly even for 1.90m dudes
consider picrel:
>better form factor>better ergonomics>more space for either components that don't have to be as small (cheaper) or a bigger battery, or both>doesn't break as easily because it's not 5mm thickyet we've been stagnating with the slab of glass for over 15 years, and now it's in every fucking videogame as well
no wonder people react like this
