The IR blaster was the first casualty for me. They just stopped putting them in any phones at all around 2014 or so. I bought an aftermarket one and it was basically just spyware with an LED that didn't work.
So just saying "uh, then, like, maybe just don't buy phones like that! Duh." isn't going to bring back half of these options already.
The IR tech in a flipper-zero is more inline and generally useful than some of those old phones. Given the shenanigans that device causes, its probably best it does not have a sim card.
(Ive had realitives get unbelieveably pissed off that their TV remotes could be "stolen", they arnt that bright and I tried to explain how "universal remote codes" work... I think they just wanted to be angry)
I used to have a Casio watch with a remote control in the early 2000s and can confirm there were plenty of shenanigans to be had.
... Wut?
Like, I get it. But still. WTF....
I'm so sad I missed out on IR blasters, it's such a useful thing I'd love to have in my phone
Get an m5stick or a flipper zero
They were awesome. Your phone controlled everything around you. The number of times I just slowly turned down the TVs in a bar to a reasonable level made it worth it.
Apparently they have usb-c ones now, but the main problem is that all the apps for them are so loaded with bloat and/or malware they're worse than going without one.
