    They took your removable battery

    So you’d have to buy a new phone instead of replacing it with a better battery off Amazon

    They took your IR blaster

    Not sure where this is or what it’s supposed to do

    They took your microsd slot

    So you’d have to pay for cloud storage

    They took your headphone jack

    So you’d have to buy wireless headphones

    They took your buttons

    Because they think they know what you want better than you do

    They cut a hole in your screen

    Because bigger screens sell

    They added 5 cameras you don’t use

    Because better cameras sell

      The IR blaster lets you use your phone like a universal remote. I can control my TV, my air conditioner, and most importantly, some stores’ unsecured commercial displays with my phone.

      The IR blaster was an IR LED you coud use to turn your phone into a remote control. Also for direct data transfer, though that one was iffy.
