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

    Physical buttons in most things are going away whenever companies see they can do it.

    It’s weird looking at appliances from decades ago, mostly because it’s clear we are stuck with lower quality where people are willing to concede.

        Yeah you can preview this cycle by looking at Cadillac. They were among the first to go touch-only with Cue in the early 2010s, started fading back in physical buttons with new models in the late 2010s, and on their newest models now have a full set of very nice custom buttons not shared from the GM parts bin.
