each new phone is more expensive, with less functionality.

hover on the touch screen? gone

iris scanner, gone

headphone jack? gone

air pressure sensor? gone

humidity sensor? gone

ir blaster, gone

meanwhile I get charged out the ass for storage space.

Why the fuck would I want a newer phone?
