you can't buy a new phone battery to keep your old phone working,

there are no new flagship phones worth buying,

dear sony add your 3d and lidar sensors to your xperia 5 IV so I can buy that as my new phone instead of a garbage iphone with no ports,

dear apple let people make custom launchers or change their menu and add a terminal so developers can actually use the phone,

I would buy an xperia 5 over an iphone because it has a headphone jack and microsd card plus all the other premiums, add the sony lidar sensor that's been rumored to be on the iphone 15 to the xperia so I can 3d scan,

I make 3d models and i cannot use an apple device to do any 3d modeling, so having a flagship sony phone with everything the xperia 5 iv has plus the new lidar will be perfect,

the xperia 5 v could be perfection if it has everything the old one has plus the new 3d sensor or a built in 3d scanner like the older xz models,

for the ignorant: you can't take a roadtrip somewhere without service in an old car if you have an apple phone or one of these idiotically designed samsungs that copy apple's deletion of features.

even if my phone loses service the music collections and video footage I can save on an SD card are extremely useful, especially for journalists and media professionals... the song never stops playing if it's loading from an sd card on my phone. I don't have to worry about bluetooth not working or having to change the whole car's media and electrical systems just to add bluetooth support.

Plus streaming has ads and i like roadtrips without ads.

Trump is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The Democratic Party and Republican Party are two sides of the same exact coin. Designed to Distract, Deceive, & Divide.

Seriously:

The collection or creation of the data isn’t what’s problematic—it’s when the data is used in ways that are harmful to individuals, collectives, or groups. And the problem is that that can happen very quickly.
An authoritarian government having access to it could use it to try to identify people who don’t show political adherence, for example. That’s a pretty quick and serious misuse of the data. Or trying to identify people who are neuroatypical, and discriminate against or segregate them. In a workplace, it could be used for dehumanization of individuals by subjecting them to neurosurveillance. All of that simultaneously becomes possible.
