blue, 25 Jun 2023Imagine that people don't give a f@@k about these usel... moreSure. Just stay in an imagination and deny that in reality, people DO care. Each time there's a poll about those, the opinion always split in half. One's opinion doesn't represent thousands of other people.
IF, there's a high-end phone that still features sd card slot + 3.5mm jack, AND released in EVERY country (so Sony doesn't count), I would by it in a heartbeat. But alas, I'm FORCED to get S23U (because I want the largest non-foldable screen, best cpu, the stylus, and don't like iOS) since that's the one available in my country.

If they manage to connect the phone to a pc wirelessly, with the phone turned off, it has a chance. Otherwise you'll have to send the phone to the service center for every single problem.

THAT is the really sad part, that there is a solution for this upcoming terrible portless madness.
I rather have a port, for many other reasons than that.
And some “cool kids” that purposefully ignore the issues can call me a dinosaur if they want to, I don’t care because they not caring is the reason why all these companies get away with all these stuff.

It may be strange at first. But overall I'm not against if companies can do it properly.

BrianCoriour, 25 Jun 2023Do companies even test if all those waves are safe with hum... moreCarriers will tell you yes it's all safe and tested, any amount of google searching will tell you that 3G has been tested (after public release), 4G is possibly being tested, 5G as far as I know isn't being tested but might be in a few years. Wifi and Bluetooth have never been safety tested, as far as I know. However I'd consider those lower priority since they're lower power than 3G/4G/5G.

Do companies even test if all those waves are safe with human and pets ?
Cuz people already say that having the phone to your ear for too long can cause cancer or something cuz of the 4G and even worse with 5G. Including the wifi router being next to your head when you sleep as well as the phone next to your head while you sleep too ofcourse.
Soooo does it get tested at all ?

Imagine paying over $1k for a phone without features that a basic phone has. It's actually some sheep mentality to not even question companies forcing you to pay for wireless buds and cloud storage.
