What's happening brothers?
>>106403969>Why are phones getting uglierFinally that means they are going to become more practical.
>>106403969>have giant, ugly, perfectly camera lens sized bulge coming out of the back of the phone>still make the cameras jut out anywayWHY???????????????????????? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! WHY?????????????
>made in le india to avoid tariffs>blumbf imposes 50% tariffs on india
>>106404050I really can't understand why they wouldn't just make the whole phone thicker for both aesthetics and functionality, like a larger battery or something.
>>106403969will it be offered in aids dispenser red?
>>106404064Would it really have been that much more trouble to just build an iPhone factory in Indiana or something?If any company on the planet has the capital for it, it's Apple.
>>106404125yes i would like my iphone filled with hydrogenated vegetable oil and high fructose corn syrup please
>>106403969If real, this is the ugliest design they ever came up with...>WhyProduct designers are degenerated fags who live in their own world far away from reality, just like these useless fashion designers who create ugly cloths that nobody would ever want to wear.
>>106404125activist shareholders would probably riot if that was seriously proposed
>>106404186This. A factory in the USA would mean that you have to pay livable wages to everyone, unlike 3rd world factories.
>>106404125The know-how of actually manufacturing things en masse is gone. So are the supply chains. And the workers.Building an iphone factory in the US would require 20 years of catching up to Chinese standards.
>>106404125>Would it really have been that much more trouble to just build an iPhone factory in Indiana or something?>If any company on the planet has the capital for it, it's Apple.Yes, too expensive and the Americans are on average very stupid, also doesn't make the profit their share holders want to see or else the US has to bring back slavery.
There was nothing left to improve in phone design. But capitalism requires eternal "innovation". If you have to change the design, but can't improve it, the only way left is to make it worse.
>>106404220that and a lot of them truly believe in the "third-world solidarity" rhetoric that they sell to others
technology much like the automobile has reached it's apex and has stagnated.Same goes for AI, it just hit the apex and stagnated much quicker than previous tech.
>>106404257all the people asked for was a new SE so they don't panic when they drop a $1400 phone in the toilet.flagship phones are just portable movie studios anyway, catering to their customer base of modern women who have embarked on illustrious careers of selling pictures of their cunt and asshole online.
>>106403969Mobile phones have been normalfag shit for the last 30 years.
>>106403969The lead designer at Apple left his position and they filled his role with some random exec with no experience in design. This was in 2020. It was supposed to be temporary but he's just...stayed there.
>>106404125No, people make cars in indiana all the time.Apple can’t do that though because car factories are unironically more advanced and automated than the chink finger sweatshops apple has become addicted to.China is also blocking the travel visas of any Foxconn employees who travel to India or wherever so Applel is being held captive by China far more than they let on to their shareholders.
i can't believe they STILL haven't gotten rid of the GOD DAMN CAMERA BUMP. IT'S BEEN 10 YEARS OF THIS SHIT FIGURE OUT HOW TO RECESS IT OR MAKE THE PHONE THICKER!!!
>>106403969China
>>106403969Don't care I'm not getting an android if google locks down sideloading
>>106404064Lmao rekt
>>106404125Even with a 250% tariff the poo in the loo phone would still be more affordable than the one built in Indiana for American buyers
>>106404463get redmagic fren
>>106404679nta but it's too big, heavy and expensive when you don't play games to warrant its price
>>106403969>What's happening brothers?nothing new saar.It has started happening even since Steve Jobs advertised that all touch, no keyboard displays are what everyone needs. People being dumb bought that white man's ad and since no one was buying any other kinds of phones(Nokia had to die to prove this exact point), those kind of phones are the only ones we have available now that offer decent functionality.It took us this long to realize how much he fucked us over by making the consumers settle on what he sells instead of allowing them to look out for what would actually fit their lifestyle and needs on the market.
>>106404125they'd rather pay couple of cents in some shithole for production than homegrown labor with full wages that's how fucked things are currently
>>106404679I just want an SD card for photos/music and a 3.5mm jack so I can stop using this dumb USB-C dongles that fucking break every month.
>>106405143I typed this like an ESL, but it's because I'm sleep deprived. I swear.
>>106403969I kinda like this gold gaudy one
>>106404679people who find that cool also think putting large spoilers on their mom's toyota camry makes it look cool.
>>106403969>gigantic bump>still have individual lens bumpsFor what purpose?
>>106403969OH NONONONONONONOthey fucked up bigtime this year
>>106403969porque todos quieren que el teléfono sea una pantalla gigante sin bordes con cámaras potentes y buena batería y eso obliga a que todos sean una lámina de vidrio rectangular sin espacio para jugar con el diseño porque la eficiencia y la funcionalidad mandan y las marcas ya no se arriesgan como antes porque saben que el usuario promedio va a ponerle una funda negra igual a todas y al final lo que importa es la cámara la velocidad y cuánto dura sin cargarse no si es bonito. En mi personal de los ultimos telefonos lanzados al mercado optaria por el iphone ya que lo estetico por la camara hace que sea vea un modelo muy bonito a comparacion de otros no por que diga que son muy baratos.
>>106404125You can't fill many less-desirable jobs when more-desirable alternatives exist (more pay, easier conditions, or just welfare). You need to locate those jobs somewhere that MAKES them desirable.Across India and China, a billion people have these options: (1) stay in a village and farm for survival-level income with no advancement, or (2) go to a factory for low-ish income and a chance of advancement: $2/hr hunched over an assembly line is a GOOD JOB.In the US, no one will work minimum wage in unsafe conditions doing body-contorting manufacturing when they could get a "fake job", be a marketing intern, and make above minimum wage sitting at a desk. $2/hr hunched over an assembly line is a BAD JOB.This touches on that and more. Is worth a read:https://www.molsonhart.com/blog/america-underestimates-the-difficulty-of-bringing-manufacturing-back>Chinese manufacturing labor isn’t just cheaper. It’s better.>>In China, there are no people who are too fat to work. The workers don’t storm off midshift, never to return to their job. You don’t have people who insist on being paid in cash so that they can keep their disability payments, while they do acrobatics on the factory floor that the non-disabled workers cannot do.>>Chinese workers are much less likely to physically attack each other and their manager. They don’t take 30 minute bathroom breaks on company time. They don’t often quit because their out-of-state mother of their children discovered their new job and now receives 60% of their wages as child support. They don’t disappear because they’ve gone on meth benders. And they don’t fall asleep on a box midshift because their pay from yesterday got converted into pills.>>Sadly, what I describe above are not theoretical situations. These are things that I have experienced or seen with my own eyes. It’s fixable, but the American workforce needs great improvement in order to compete with the world’s, even with tariffs.
>>106404125For the same reasons that your military couldn't just boycott Chinese rare earths even if the US and Japan have their own underground.But it would be better if you figure it out yourself so you don't end up like those boomers in Washington.
>>106406816The jobs are fake, the money is fake, the economy is fake:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lDTdLQnSQo
why cant engineers hide the camerasno one cares a phone has camerasbring back the 3.5mm jack if you want big gaping holes
>>106404064Phones and the other important stuff are exempt.
>AI generated a fake iPhone 17>Why are phones so uglyFuck off
gimme dat liquid ass
>>106404220Not if you set up shop in Indiana.At $50k a head, it would be comically cheap to ensure the min wage never advances past federal, and that pesky labor organizers can be disappeared.>>106404415>car factories are unironically more advanced and automated than the chink finger sweatshops apple has become addicted toBullshit, pick and place has been around for decades
sooooo ughlyyyyy
iphone 17 Airstill got a bump
>>106403969They're not, it's just iPhones.
>>106404064Orange man bad. Go back you socialist degenerate.
>>106407901>bulge on one side>phone fucking wobbles on flat surfaceskek
>>106404125Do you want to pay 4000 dollars for an iPhone?
>>106407931Remove your tongue from orange man's anus
Why this is so fucking ugly bro?
>>106407687why would you even want those jobs?ubi is the superior solution
>>106408041no one cur
>>106404125Who do you want making your phone?>China, Taiwan — Chinks>India — PooJeets>USA — Niggers and spics, but mostly nigs.I’d rather the yellow man.
>>106406816>has seen bad American employees>assumes all American employees are like that >has not seen bad Chinese employees >assumes every Chinese is a 100% efficient worker I guarantee you that statistically there's probably as many bad Chinese employees as there are American ones, just due to human nature and them having 3x our population. It may be higher, due to their cultural differences Also, to try and claim there's no fat Chinese is absolutely disingenuous
>>106404246>Yes, too expensive and the Americans are on average very stupidtell you what, next time we both ring up customer service i'll take the American and you can deal with Rajesh and the Filipinas.
>>106403969Thick enough to take good pictures at visible wavelengths is thick enough to be ugly
>>106408997>the Americanhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOUKgLnt3oY
The S8 was the apex of smartphone design, everything after it is a regression.
>>106409267I didnt like the design at the time but looking back on it now, especially with the way apple is going, that looks pretty good honestly.
>all these fuck huge camera modulesJust get a real camera and a mid-range phone that doesn't have a fuck huge camera bump
thanks but I'll stick to my iphone 16 pro
>>106404679This makes iphones look like a good deal.
>>106407901>Still has a tumor
>>106403969Jesus! Are Apple taking their design cues from Google Pixel phones now?
>>106409267I'm still using it. I should probably get a new phone some day.
>>106404125You can't open a factory in US. Americans ask for astronomical salaries and can't even make a nail, let alone a phone.
>>106409561Me too, the battery barely lasts a day. The Motorola Edge seems to be the closest you can get nowadays, unfortunately that has also a camera tumor, and a pinhole. In fact I hate that holeshit so much I might get a Xperia when this one breaks.
>>106409530Sir, that is a Pocophone.>>106409613Holy PWM, batman.
>>106409621Sorry matey, I don't think I've ever seen, let alone used a "Poco" phone.
>>106404125>why isn't this company who is extremely rich because of sound financiak decisions start making vad financial decisions??gee I dunno
>>106409621Well, I had to use the garbage my workplace gave me to take a picture of my phone
>>106409267bottom bezel could've been used for a speaker
>>106404064jeets btfo
>>106404125the parts inside the iphone are also made in china. you'd need to open like 50 factories in indiana.
>>106409530Have you seen the iphone air? the answer is YES
>>106410395There's a speaker at the bottom. They should have put the top front one on top to keep the screen completely closed
>>106405143Galaxy A55?
>>106403969designfags gotta eat
>>106403969Modern aesthetics are done by jeets.
>>106407684Looks like ass. Apple has lost it.
>>106409621Oh my god, POCO?https://m.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_poco_f6_pro-pictures-12992.php
>>106410418It worked in India. Why do the logistics not work in the US but magically work in India?
>>106403969Holy shit that is ugly. Humiliation ritual.
>>106411256The Constitution seems to be a big roadblock
>>106403969Why don't they make it a wedge shape? It'd slide into your pocket so nice.
>>106407687Pick and place was never optimized for the electronics assembly world because chink sweatshop fingers were cheaper and swamped the market.Auto stayed in house (mostly) and is unironically more advanced and roboticized than electronics assembly because it never got dragged down by slave-wage labor.>Inb4No, those fancy robo-trolleys you see in tech industries promo videos are from semiconductor plants and aren’t representative of what it’s actually like on the foxconn floor.
>>106405143I bought galaxy a25 just because of headphone jack. It was the best non chink phone I could find that had both of those features (my previous phone was a chin phone and it died on me)
>>106404679why does it have the twitter logo on it?
>>106409267>The M7 was the apex of smartphone design, everything after it is a regression.FTFYCheap plastic Samsung phones always looked like shit
>>106403969>two lenses for 3d videos>three lenses for ???Do iPhones have 4D video now or what is this
>>106413190The factory can only fabricate rectangles. With a wedge shape the front and back would still be rectangles but each side would have to be a single piece with gradually changing thickness.
>>106415324cute, did you buy that for your grandma? S8 is glass back and front
