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

I miss tether points. We have these super expensive, slippery devices and we have to stick something like a pop socket onto them to be able to get a good grip on them. I used to have these little dangly thumb loops that if I dropped my phone, it would just dangle there instead of slamming into the ground. It’s very minor, but I don’t understand why they don’t have them anymore.
Oh damn I want one now. I’ve gone caseless since my last case disintegrated and I really prefer it this way now. But a tether would be a welcome addition.
A lot of cases have those still, plus industrial some phones have it built in
I am sure it’s because phone companies don’t want to deal with designing, manufacturing, design defects, warranty claims if it fails, etc.
I do wonder if it can’t be done better with programmable magnets, locking one of those in place from the bottom of the device might be interesting.
You you mean electropermanent magnets?
Idk if that’s another name for them, but what I meant was polymagnets
Those use arrays of electropermanent magnets
