I just want a small phone with 3.5mm audio that I can use as a music, podcast, and general audio device. By small I mean iPhone 5/SE or less. The latest “mini” is bigger, and they don’t even do minis now.

So Motorola Razr and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 when folded are smaller in height and width, but over twice as thick, and notably heavier. Not seeing the advantage.

A subscription fee and any kind of profiting off of user data, need to never co-exist.

Specify the cost of the service, and that should be all there is to it. Makes it more fair in terms of competition, too.

And story/worldbuilding.

I don’t want a game of a movie of a book, but I like when there are reasons behind the actions and choices.
