There is no way to play CD audio in the background on an X Box anymore. It used to be in Groove Music, and then supposedly in Windows Media Player, but I can't find either of those in the store.

I liked the People Hub that Windows Phone 8 started with. But none of the social media platforms wanted you to be able to use their services without seeing their ads so ...
I would pay extra to have 3D Touch back
I think there were two issues with it.
They never really had a good UI indication of what elements are 3d touchable. This meant the average user never really used the feature too much and it was frustrating for some to try to find functionality that was "hidden" visually from the UI.
Also the phones with 3d touch had significantly worse battery life than in the following years. Apparently the pressure sensing hardware took up a lot of space in the phone. I'm sure they could have made them a bit thicker, but this is Apple we're talking about.
Force touch still exists on the mac, and it has kinda the same UI issue going on. I'm personally not a huge fan of it though as even if you know you want to force touch something, you can't really immediately do it. You first have to tap/click on the element and then apply more pressure, which makes the process a bit cumbersome.
I'm still using a Samsung S7 (but only for a few months more now, it needs upgrading), and it surprised me that most flagships have removed good features!
I knew about no physical nav buttons and the headphone jack, but why the SD card slot? Come on!
Fingerprint readers are a bad idea for a variety of reasons. So this does seem like a loss! What a cool concept.
I don't actually miss much, but I also don't really use my phone a whole lot. I have a smartphone, but it's pretty close to factory settings. I don't really install apps outside Line, I very rarely make calls on it. It probably gets used for transit directions/maps, mail, and Line 90% of the time.
Maybe not a specific feature, but I do dislike the general trend towards large and larger phones/screens. I must prefer the smaller phones we used to have; I know Apple had their smaller phone lines recently but I think they didn't do particularly well.
3D Touch was one of my favorite features on iPhone. When they took it away, it just didn't feel the same. Now I'm primarily a Pixel user
