I agree with the article, but i hate the way the author just admits defeat at the end. "I hate everything about it! But i won't realistically leave. And actually you can keep doing it all, just let me hide hotels pretty please". Ugh.

I can't claim I've managed anything more, beyond periodically re-testing the alternatives, but i just hate to see it written., Feels like it undermines the whole argument when they make clear that Google will see no consequence.

The biggest hurdle for me, is that many businesses and other points of interest are missing in the alternatives. And if not missing, then useful data like opening hours, reviews, etc aren't there.

But i hate every moment i spend in Google Maps due to the advertising and bad UX, and I will jump ship as soon as something comes even close (on Android).

Maybe because it's using "slams" in the title.

I hope it comes to the Play store at some point

If you implant it in your body by accident, titanium is biocompatible.

That's awesome. I will need to find a new phone soon, and I'm dreading it.

Is true, i don't need reading glasses, and maybe one day I'd feel differently, but the OP asked for personal views on foldables, and at this moment in time, that is my view :)

Plus people of all ages did fine with smartphones with 3-5" screens for like a decade, including iPhones 1-5 i think.

It's cool technically and i love gadgets. But practically speaking, when unfolded, it's too big, and when folded it's too small (plus a waste of money if I'm not opening it to use, and thicc). Just a simple small slab would be so convenient.

The flip seems like all the ergonomic issues of a large phone, with the added hassle of needing to keep opening it. Still enjoy following the tech involved though.

Foldables are basically the opposite of what I want: a small slab flagship phone, maybe 5" would be ideal. I don't want it to become huge at any point.

The whole point of that phrase is that it's a curse.

Permanently attached to the end of the cable, not the phone.

You don't need new headphones though, just the usb-c adaptor, which you can leave permanently attached to the cable (if you only use them with your phone/laptop).

I want to use the same (synced) browser across all my OS's, so the main reason I stopped using Firefox is because their Android tablet UX sucks.

Vivaldi works great though on all my devices and I'm super happy with it.

Don't go iPhone SE, go iPhone Mini if you do switch. I will not switch, i already tried iOS again recently but there's too many irritating things that sent me running back to Android (please no one ask me to start listing them all). But if it can fit for you, go Mini.

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S22 because it literally was/is the smallest flagship on the market. If there were a flagship option with a 4-5" screen I would probably snap that up immediately.

I love the full-face screen with small symmetrical bezels. Performance is good. Wireless charging. Decent fast charge. Good cameras.

Don't love that it could be smaller. The camera module makes it rock when flat. I wish the back were not glass. Not a huge fan of the One UI stuff, but it's not the worst either.

We stumbled so that you could also stumble but down some stairs.

I occasionally see guys around here wearing skirts in summer. Not super common though admittedly. Or those harem pants that are really on the line between pants and skirt.

I like FeedMe (on Android). It's really versatile to customise the UX to your liking.

It's all the same
