It’s so stupid. All the phones newer than mine have less hardware features so if I replace it I’ll have to find new ways of doing a bunch of things. I’m just accepting the risk at this point until manufacturers get their heads out of their asses and make something decent or my carrier stops supporting my phone. I’d have probably bought two more phones since I got this one if everything wasn’t a downgrade from what I have currently.
