    Its crazy the lack of phones being developed without ai and with physical keyboards.

    Any idiot can see there would be a demand for a minimalist phone with retro vibes but I guess the USA wants everything to be efficiently Spyware.

      They are being made by smaller companies, the problem is that the so-called “demand” always has excuses as to why they don’t buy them. It was the same with small phones - many people claimed to want them yet the sales didn’t reflect that.

        As someone who held on to the Pixel 4a for as long as possible, I feel like my demand should have been felt. Can’t speak for others.

          Unfortunately buying is a much stronger signal than not buying. There could be many reasons why you didn’t buy a new phone vs the one reason you did buy a phone - you like it the most given your budget.
