I know this is a shitpost, but I honestly think that was better. In the past couple years I've bought an mp3 player, and dslr camera, and a pocket sized e-reader, and a retro gaming handheld, and it feels so much better swapping between them when I'm doing something than just staring at the little hell rectangle for 12 hours a day.
Well, yeah, if you do one thing good, that's gonna be better than doing a million things halfass.
It's almost like "a cheap, right tool is better than an expensive, wrong tool".
I don't think we'll see phones that are as good of a camera as an actual (read: not toy-tier) digital camera. A lot just has to do with the quality of the optics you can pack into a small lens, and how much to expect out of that lens when it's being touched and shoved into and out of a pocket all the time.
Portable audio players...the only leg up they really have are tactile interfaces and usually expandable storage...both of which increasingly uncommon on phones. But that's largely because the phones have nailed that job, and physical media is pretty much dead (albeit at the hands of phones).
Watch? It depends what you want out of it... As a fashion item/jewelery, point goes to legacy tech. As a utilitarian gizmo? That also kinda depends on your needs...because both camps have merit.
It's more like a Swiss army knife, really. The phone is now just technological EDC in and of itself.
The lack of expandable storage on my phone really hurts the audio player experience for me. I would really like to have all my music just on my phone.
And the lack of headphone jack is really annoying too. I've spent over 160€ on headphone DACs since I replaced my old LG G6 with Samsung S22. Before that I just had the phone, which had a really nice sound quality. Now I've lost some DACs and another one is starting to malfunction since I dropped it.
I'm really starting to consider an mp3 player rn.
Any multi-tool will always be inferior to the single-use tools it replaces. That's the cost you pay for being compact and convenient.
Sure, every multi-tool has a screwdriver on it somewhere ... but it will never be as good as a real screwdriver for driving screws.
Then again, it would be a pain in the ass to carry around 30 different individual tools. So it really depends what your needs are.
Idk Technology Connections said that minivans are the swiss-army knife of cars and I wouldn't disagree...and that many car buyers don't really evaluate their needs when car shopping, it's largely emotion-driven.
I miss my minivan.
