Okay, where do I get my 4" flagship with a removable battery and a headphone jack, eh? Nowhere? Then you can't call that a choice.

In 2020, all phones are the exact same thing with minor differences.

That’s not true but don’t let it stop you from demanding phone makers make custom models for every handful of people who want unique features.

Of course if you believe your design actually has a market, it’s never been an easier time in world history to manufacture your own smartphone designs with easy availability of parts, android, Kickstarter, Chinese contract manufacturers, etc.

Are you are the type of person who complains but never does anything about it?
