Funny, the comment types here are the same as on Youtube:

  1. "I still run Android and it is totally fine, will never switch Android just got worse!"
  2. "Well, money"
  3. "Companies need to support phones longer"
  4. "I just use LineageOS on that device"
  5. Misinformation

Not to brag but I still do have a headphone jack. Gonna guess the security update being from 2022 is a bad thing though lmao

I mean, you can be on airplane mode with bluetooth and wifi off in public spaces. I would need to use a dongle (which doesnt exist! I needed to buy the Apple one)

[–] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Funny enough, i actually disable bluetooth when I'm not using it, and i don't use wifi on the phone (no home internet, so it isn't gonna connect to anything anyway).

I'm gonna miss the rear fingerprint sensor as well when i finally replace it.

True, in-display sensors are complete garbage. Slow, flashing in your face etc.

Idk if they are more secure (accurate) but they suck.
