For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

Then buy phones with headphone jacks. Mine has one, I dont buy ones without it.

If it matters for you to have it, dont buy phones that cut it. If models with it keep selling, theyre less likely to ditch it.

I'd rather just buy a DAP than randomly replace a perfectly good phone with one that sucks in comparison.

And that why you'll never get it back. You're clinging to brand loyalty and hung up on arbitrary crap rather than just trying competing phones. Have you actually used any of those "suck" phones, or are you just going with the usual iPhone/high end android circlejerk?

You have assumed completely wrong, friend.

As I mentioned in another comment, if you'd bothered to read it, I have particular needs that mean I can't really replace my phone with something else right now. I have absolutely no loyalty to brands, and I'm not clinging to something arbitrary.

Lol I only buy jack phones, and if you think they suck you need to shop in places that arent back alleyways

It was a perfectly good MacDonald's, thank you very much!

But in all seriousness, I just have particular needs that literally can't be met by anything else.
