@Gargron So don’t buy a foldable phone and don’t install the OS version with Liquid Glass. Easy.

@Gargron i want a small smartphone, with a removable battery, a jack and a SD card. I want to be able to flash it with non bloated OS

@Gargron Feel free to turn off Liquid Glass then.

@Gargron Did you try the ios 27 beta at all? It runs smoother (or at least more consistently) on my old iPhone 11 Pro that I’ve been using for testing than iOS 26 did on an iPhone 17, to the point where I was seriously considering going back to the older phone.

Feels like Apple assigned someone to work on optimization for the first time in years.

@Gargron capitalism means your device must eventually fail so they can keep selling you new ones. Capitalism is for the rich, not consumers.

@Gargron They really need to pick a lane: artificial obsolescence OR hyper-inflated hardware due to scarcity.

We really can't take being told to buy a new phone every year when phones are starting to cost as much as used cars.

@Gargron I want a phone that fits in my hand.

@Gargron i literally press a button, it makes an animation of me pressing a button, but it doesnt register

how…

@Gargron I refuse to update to iOS 26.

@Gargron

i want everyone who uses smart phones to realize they are funding genocide in africa with every purchase of a phone.

and to PAY!

and i don't mean with money.

@Gargron yes please...

@Gargron

I would personally take the iPhone 5 or even the original iPhone. You know answer the phone provide a contact list maybe be able to read email. That’s it that’s all I want a phone for and realistically I don’t even need the email.

@Gargron I want my phone that works flawlessly with no lag to just receive updates.

@Gargron i just want small one (i hate this giant and heavy things)
