    Pointless unintuitive feature that’s replaced with simple press and hold.

    Iris scanner

    Slow and unreliable compared to fingerprints. Anyone actually used it?

    Air pressure/humidity sensor

    Who needs these things? Weather apps work just fine. Rather use the space for battery.

    IR blaster

    Unless you’re looking to vandalize public tvs, just replace it with any number of wifi/bluetooth remotes.

    Just saying there’s a reason features get the axe. Headphone jack is the only one I can sort of agree with, but I still rarely ever need one anymore. Bluetooth is just so much better.

    And one thing all this debloating has led towards is larger battery capacity, which most older phones are sorely lacking.



  • To touch on this I think the sorting algorithms could do with some improvements, it shouldn’t be possible for one or two communities to completely take over the front page just because there’s a lot of activity on those communities.

    I recall Reddit used to have a similar issue until they tightened it up.

    For now just blocking the specific communities should do.








  • There are many subreddits that serve the same purpose as well. They either become their own space with slight differences between their respective communities and rules, or one grows much larger and eventually eats up the other. This is normal, give it time. The advantage that the seperation brings is that if any one instance does a reddit and is no longer usable there can always be another to replace it.
