    The same can be said for phones, first they got rid of removable batteries, then the headphone jack and now they’re after the sim slot too.

      Hilariously, my main phone for several years now has been what was intended to be a burner phone.

      Bought it at a gas station, was able to unlock it…

      Its is garbage in terms of performance at anything beyond like, one tab in a web browser… but, it works as a phone, you can pop the back of the case off.

      Removable battery.

      Oh and it has a headphone jack too.

      So I have a semi decent pair of old school headphones and hey wow, the connecting cord itself works as an FM radio antenna.

      And an sd slot, though its only accessible via taking the back shell off.

      So yep this one is staying as the backup/emergency/burner, if I ever even do get a ‘new’ one.
