    I really do not want anything innovative in my phone TBH. Android works ok and the heavy lifting is done with apps. I really don’t want Google to move more crappy features into the OS and I really do not need stuff like those LIDAR sensors modern iPhones have. Just give me a smartphone with several years of security updates, enough speed to run my programs without issues, give me a good camera and I’m fine.

      I agree with you except I really want lidar, making 3d scans of things is fun and cool. I got really into photogrammetry a few years ago and Lidar is the one iPhone feature I’m jealous of.
