Critical thinking! No! It doesn't look 'old' so it can't be!

I mean, if they pull it off it will be great, but until it's in our hands, there are no expectations.

You will be lucky to outlive Bobi.

That's the secret to living long, just don't go grey.

Of course they do. The S23 for example is smaller than the iPhone 15, was the same price on release (came out Feb 2023) and has features beating the iPhone 15 Pro Max, a much bigger and more recent device. Most features/hardware on the bigger phones exist in smaller phones, most of the extra space on larger phones is usually just taken up by a larger battery anyway. They can go watch some teardowns, look into all the software locked features like with the recent Pixel 8 phones, instead of blindly jumping to the defence of these mega-corporations who only want to upsell.

But yes, obviously some features are a lot harder to fit in a smaller space, but I thought that was the obvious asterisk to my comment. Perhaps they should spend some R&D on figuring that out though, rather than rehashing the same devices year after year which is just leading to e-waste.

(I'd love the 3.5mm port back too, but they all want to sell their wireless 'buds' now, so not going to happen for that reason alone :c)

So yes, it was bait.

Is this bait?

That will be a side effect of them locking abitrary features behind the bigger and thus more expensive models, if there was feature parity smaller phones would probably still be the norm.

It's fab being in the forest when this happens, although dangerous, it's fun to walk along aha.

I think the S23 is the perfect size, I wish that was the standard, with some larger ones for people who like that.

Triple A would fuck it just as much, would be poorly optimised trash riddled with MTX and/or DLC. No good studios want to take it on because it's a beloved world and they dont want to risk it, but these random studios youve never heard of will for that quick buck from the name.

This is absolutely what they all are. I thought they would be more careful with the rights.
