    I just want phones that are shorter. They keep getting longer, which means more risk of breaking, and means the keyboard is unusable in landscape since it blocks the textfield.

      Conspiracy part of my brain wants to say thats by design… To artificially increase sales by replacing broken ones.

      Same reason they sealed up the phones so you couldnt replace the batteries/repair them.

          not everyone is bold enough to artificially slow down the phone to frustrate you into upgrading like Apple did.

            Just saying, we need a sub called “inconspiracies” where every post is literally just a known (or assumed) fact that sounds like a conspiracy

              Months ago my coworker and I were joking that something similar would be a funny podcast, then we both went no. No one should ever do this….it would not end well.

      Jtlyk, you can use a custom keyboard, like Swift Key. Many have the option to scale according to your preferences.
