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.

      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.
