Apple

I don't mind a nice aesthetic

Don't you mean mice aesthetic?

Yeah, I'm always super stoked when every android manufacturer is tripping over themselves to copy anything apple does instead of actually innovating. All the cool things that android once offered are now gone. My 1st smartphone was so much more functional and groundbreaking than anything I've had in the last like 10 years or so. So many cool things taken away.

Hey, your battery broke? Go buy another and pop it in without the need for a spudger and a heat gun and needing to say 50 hail Mary's that you don't break something trying to fix it. Want more storage? Go buy an SD card n pop it in. Want a remote for your tv, and like any and every device out there? We put an IR blaster in there so your phone is also a universal remote. Want to listen to headphones and charge your phone at the same time? No problem, there's a headphone jack separate from the charging port. You can still use Bluetooth too if you're not into the whole cable thing. So many cool features taken away in the name of making a slimmer, sleeker looking device.

I wish one manufacturer would buck these trends and go back to the OG designs and let me vote with my dollars on things I want in a phone. Instead, they all unilaterally chased apple and took all these features away, and now every phone is the same, and there's no reason to bother upgrading unless yours breaks. Everything is boring thanks to Apple's "innovation".
