What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?
For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

While the LED notification light was awesome, it is something that I don't really need. I also don't need a removal battery because my battery life has been extremely good and I'll replace my phone before the battery goes bad. I don't need wireless charging. My phone had that years ago but it's kind of a gimmick, especially when a phone can charge up in about an hour and a half from dead. I don't need a 3.5 mm headphone jack because I don't use wired headphones, I have Bluetooth headphones but they rarely get used.
I'm glad that you're the only person who buys the entire global supply of phones then.
It's not like some people might be harder on phone batteries and need to replace them sooner, or enjoys just setting their phone down to charge it, or has expensive non-BT headphones they want to use because BT compresses the audio and BT mics are absolutely horrible compared to even dollar store earbuds.
But, as we established, those people don't exist because you are literally the only person on this planet that uses a smartphone, so the entire global market can cater to your use cases and no one else's, and it's great they have gotten rid of all those features just for you.
I never recall saying that my use case was everybody's use case. I was just stating that sometimes things like this are fine for some people like myself. People like me are in the minority yet you made the assumption I was speaking for everyone. Options are always better. I wish the modular phone came to be.
