What discontinued feature do you miss from phones or other technologies?
What discontinued feature do you miss from phones or other technologies?
For me its the 'Knock Code' that LG had on their phones (I really wish LG still made at least the V series phones)
Basically there was a four-square area and you set up a sequence of where you would tap to unlock the phone. That set of squares was only shown when you set up the code
Then, to unlock your phone, you would tap those areas in the sequence you set up (even with the screen off).
Fingerprint readers are nice, but I really do miss the knock code
Edit: did find this article with a way to do the knock code, but if done wrong, could brick your phone I guess.
Plus, article is from 2014. When I looked at XDA's info on it (they also being the developers) it looks like development on it is over, but individual modules may or may not still be supported by their devs

I miss them being small and slim. I still use my iPhone SE everyday for a music player. It’s the perfect size for a cell phone.

The likely reason it isn't a COMMON phone form factor is the hardware required to make it a phone would take up too much space
What are you talking about, my https://www.unihertz.com/products/jelly-2 even has a headphone jack.
The phone you’re taking about is more than twice as thick.
iPhone SE: 123.8 x 58.6 x 7.6
Unihertz Jelly 2: 95 × 49.4 × 16.5That’s an interesting phone if I were interested in having a google account on a thick toy-like phone. In my opinion, the SE has the best screen size to ergonomics ratio.
The iphone SE.. Was that not clear? The reason the jelly 2 isn't the same size is because the stuff like a headphone jack takes up space and iPhone users are willing to go without that stuff for the sake of the owning a phone by that brand
You’re right that today’s cpu and other functions likely requires a larger battery. I don’t care about a headphone jack. I don’t mind plugging my phone in to charge once a day.

Jelly 2 has a headphones jack and is way smaller than iPhone SE. I don't understand your message.
