No removable battery.
I recently got a de googled Fairphone 5 which has a number of removable parts, including the battery! Can recommend.
Fixed battery and removal of headphone jack and SD card slots were 1000% anti-consumer practices designed to cost you more money and make your device lifespan as short as possible. I don’t see the battery problem going away - why enable your phone to last twice or three times as long when they can just force you to have to buy a new device when the battery is shot? At least we got our card slots and jacks back (mostly).
I am also salty that phones USED to have IR blasters and they don’t anymore. IR LEDs cost next to nothing, another feature that was amazing but thrown away to save 5c per unit.
Touchscreen basically being unusable in any kind of rain no matter how light
No fucking mini jack for headphones.
I don’t need a headphone jack all the time, but I really do fucking want one when I need it. Dongles suck.
In iOS how hard it is to glance the time and date while watching a full screen video.
Between that and the godawful notification system, I feel like iPhone practically requires the Apple Watch.
I do really like how well the Apple Watch works with the iPhone, but I do kinda wish Apple would just steal notifications, date+time in the drop down, and back gestures from both sides of the screen from Android.
The focus mode ui is another bugbear - how scattered the ui is for this.
I can alter it from the bottom middle of the notification shade once set, but I can’t enable it from there - why?
At least put a line with date and time at the bottom of the notification shade so I don’t have to roll it all the way down.
Also, I’ve set triple back tap to turn on the flash… well, it only works (inconsistently) when the phone is unlocked. Why?
The bloatware. And custom Roms being dead for all except Pixel
