in its experience, there are 0 phones that do not break every 2-4 months.
|
|
this is stupid because society made the baffling and frankly quite bad near unilateral decision that phones would be largely required to be a functional being.

|
natalie used to have an iphone SE 1st gen (a1662).
|
|
this phone was awful by virtue of being a phone, but it worked.
|
|
unfortunately, phones are garbage, so this one probably spent $160 on screen replacements for it$[make-footnote 'how on earth can phones not survive being in a pocket? this is very easy'] because the screen would break every 2-4 months.
|
|
also, its home button, both cameras, and speakers all ceased to function and were accordingly removed.
|

|
eventually, its father gave it his old phone. this was a samsung galaxy s10e.
|
|
this phone managed to be worse than the iphone SE 1st gen a1662.
|
|
why on earth would anything design a phone the screen of which protrudes past the body of the phone such that if one dares to even observe it, the screen breaks?
|
|
this is like if they asked an engineer to design a phone and then did the exact opposite.
|
|
also, the corners were rounded.
|
|
not the corners of the case (though those were too), but the corners of the actual screen.
|
|
why on earth would one ever do this?
|
|
<blockquote>hello, LCD manufacturer? we would like a more expensive and worse screen please.</blockquote>
|
|
nonsense.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
anyways, the s10e stopped charging and gives an overheat warning 80% of the time that natalie tries to turn it on (just being plugged in to usb-c).
|
|
it got this phone in july, so that is within the predicted range of 2-4 months.

|
|
why are phones like this?
|
|
it wants to not own a phone but they are so necessary.
|
|
it really is not sure why people need to be able to {text,call} it.
|
|
if one wants to communicate with it, they can send it an email.
|
|
this is not a difficult concept, and yet it still regularly receives text messages and phone calls.
