      Why is dynamic island a feature? Seems like a good thing that something doesn’t have that nonsense, since the whole thing is a workaround for having a hole in your screen.

          Yeah exactly. The gimmick created around the fact that there’s a hole in the screen where the front-facing camera is, to mask the glaring hole like it’s a feature instead of a drawback.

          the specs are awful,

          well the screen is weird, and why is this USB 2 (really, what’s behind this? the fairphone 6 got a downgrade to usb 2 too), but that’s it. oh and the plastic but I guess it depends on what kind, it can be ok

      It’s not an iPhone competitor. What’s the point in completing 2 devices which such different prices. The iPhone is 2x the price of this thing.

        I would pay double for better specs. Like, clearly, because I did. This Liquid Glass nonsense feels like a gimmick from the 00’s. Steve Jobs must be rolling over in his grave. He’s probably been rolling over since all the stock buybacks started.
