   Exactly, the first 3 or 4 smartphones I had lasted forever because I could replace the battery myself.

     The iPhone also started the trend of every aspect of the phone being sealed off and inaccessible to power users.

     @Goalkeeper @Dicer @EdBoatConnoisseur @Eiswald @lichelordgodfrey also started the trend of being literally sealed off so you couldn't remove the battery for uhhhh water resistance
     nothing to do with the contemporary gov leaks that showed smartphones could still collect and send activity data when powered 'off'

     That's the problem. The iPhone made it so any braindead retard could use it.

     @Eiswald @lichelordgodfrey @Dicer >nigga thinks the invention of the blue LED changed display tech overnight.

     Touch screen smartphones with LCD screens were a thing back in 2008, i still remember the samsung omnia and the htc touch clearly.

     @EdBoatConnoisseur @Eiswald @Dicer The iPhone's launch in 2007 is considered the "beginning of the end" of the old internet that remained.

     Yeah there were touchscreen phones before the iPhone, but they weren't as nice or nearly as user-friendly/idiot-proof.

     I agree. I'm from the before times. At least a decade before the first 'smart' phones as we know them today. I miss being the 'computer nerd' and if I had a time machine I'd go back and terminate Shuji Nakamura before he could invent the Blue LED.

     @lichelordgodfrey @Dicer 56k modem was God's internet speed. Having to choose between being able to use the phone and have internet was very important.

     @Eiswald @Dicer These kinds of jokes are dumb and retarded.

     The internet was also better then because it was much more a hobbyist thing, far fewer people were on it, and the smartphone with internet access was not widespread yet. It could have been going at 1 trillion yottabits a second and that would be "God's internet speed", lol.

     People in industries complain that "kids don't know what folders on computers are" but that was true in the 1990's as well.

     The difference is everyone has a smartphone these days (which even literal chimpanzees can use), and there are a lot more browns (particularly sub-continentals), and stupid people, on the internet.

     @Dicer That didn't use to be true.

     But the internet used to be a lot less bloated...

     5 trillion checks to make sure I can access X content after Y ad agency's been tipped off I have been here/saw an ad (I never do because I block them), Z analytics company (often also the ad company), and finally the actual webpage with the minimal content or service I need at best.
