For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up
My 2001 flip phone could schedule sms messages to be sent and it took smartphones a decade ish to add that feature.
I want a IR blaster again and a front notification light.
Or at least let me easily simulate the notification light without a third part app.
Headphone Jack.
Rewind! None of my devices have a rewind feature any more and it’s driving me crazy!
Those tiny solar cells calculators used to have
I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone mention IR transmitters in phones. Luckily, some phones are bringing them back (cough OnePlus Open cough)
Suddenly I feel very happy (and a little bit smug) about my 2 year old Sony Xperia which both a notification LED, headphone jack and micro SD card slot.
But a replacable battery is sorely lacking..
I think I'll go with the latest Fairphone when my current needs replacement, but I'm a bit worried about it's lack of water resistance
My phone is 4 years old and this sounds like a horror story to me. I have no idea what I'm going to do next.
Replace the battery and use it for 4 more years.
IR led, useful to use your phone as a remote control for various non-connected hardware
Free and easily added custom ringtones
for what it’s worth, you can make your phone’s flashlight serve the same purpose as those old notification lights. more harsh and no colors, but it’ll get your attention
Pixel phones and I believe Samsung phones just light up the OLED display to let you know that there is notification. An independent LED was only necessary because screens would have to light up the whole display to indicate notification,but now we have better screens so that isn't necessary.
Actual keyboards, my Moto Droid was my favorite phone I've ever owned. Miss it so much. I'd give anything to have an updated version of it.
