Apple Rant and Suggestions Thread

I agree. Technology in 2021 is still stuck in the 2010s. Really it’s just a software update of technology that already existed back then. The evolution has been slow and stagnant. Technology devices from the early and mid 2010s are still being sold and supported.

Apple’s 2021 line up could’ve easily been released as early as the second half of 2014, if not earlier, because that was when the first bezel-less touch screen smartphone called the Aquos Crystal came out by The Japanese Electronics giant, Sharp Electronics that August. Around that time is when I’d say tech leaned closer to the late 2010s to present than the early 2010s and back. 

That should be embarrassing for Apple because they fell behind the times. They didn’t release their first bezel-less phone, iPhone X, until September 2017. 

I wonder if most touch screen smartphones today are bezel-less or not and or if they’re transitioning to bezel-less displays.

I also want something fresh and revolutionary. I don’t know what to feel about touch screen foldable smartphones and how that’ll work out. Maybe that might be a step in the direction. I guess time will tell. 

2011 phones made 2004 phones look old school, practically outdated and unusable. That’s not the case with 2014 phones compared to 2021 phones.

Large screen phones are uncomfortable. I’m afraid they’ll slip from my hand and shatter. Better batteries and thinner design should be the goal, maybe more environmentally friendliness.

iPhones have delicate screens that can shatter easily if dropped from even a short distance. Flip phones could be dropped from a story up and still be fine despite a few scratches.
