Everything nowdays is made in much more quantitis than companies can sell. Just look at the apple or google for example.
In past they been making 1 phone a year later two now its like 7 devices just phones.
Same can be said for many else brands.
Even a company which started with placed preorders yes Oneplus talking to you now making masses of phones in hopes they all will sell.
And what cannot be sold will end as an E-Waste for recycling or something.

Just a suggestion. The companies can not listen and I'll be buying a new phone anyway.
Like they always say, the only thing holding us back from greatness is greed.
Anonymous, 31 May 2026wym, does the x8 pro max have that bad of an efficency?No, it's efficiency is decent, it's just the battery is 1500mAh smaller so losing to it would be f*cking embarrassing.

Trade off or not mechanical parts are first to breaks.
If Apple 2020 will be completelly sealed and hole less like in past Meizu zero should be, there wont be any SD slots nor jack in phone anyway.

And the Si-Ca dampen... moreWell using a phone with 1TB internal memory now have 80GB left on my Motorola edge 50 Ultra. So have zero issues with having or needing such ancient features.
For me they can go.
For users unable to accept this upcomming trend i have to say only one thing accept it, adopt to it or stick to whathewer ancient outdated but still working you are able to find.
Soon or lateryou will have no choice no matter what you do or try to do.
Rest been well known.

Simple as that.
I am fine with no headphone jack and microSD (S25 Edge), but you get the point.

The efficiency of Honor's last few phones was atrocious, so it'll probably still find a way to have worse battery life than Xiaomi's Poco X8 Pro Max.

Mechanical parts as always are first thing to breaks when you drops your phone even by accident.
Such ancient features been removed for good reasons.
Its not just about the space.
I believe and i am sure i seen it right in 2028 or Iphone 20 series will be like Meizu zero which havent been succesfull but Tim Ciook and now John Ternus played with this ability to have a completely sealed phone from water and dust.
And withing year or two rest will follows.

The apparent reason for removing this was space. And since it hurts much less to add it back, we should just add it back. They’re pretty useful too.
Amazing price to performance ratio. For 340€ you can barely get a garbage Redmi note 15 pro (non plus model) or poco x7 pro or perhaps 14T base if you value photography.
Hills od, 30 May 2026I understand your "E-waste" point but does it mean that wireless earphones ain'... moreBro maybe they are limited product due to not swappable battery but which isnt???
Litterary everythzing in this world is limited product???
Even if you buy PC for example if sometthing dies it can be fixed or repaired o given a new until you find that your motherboard is so old you have no options just buy new.
Same can be said about cars, planes, kitchen appliances etc.
One day there will be no spare parts for said technology.
Wired or wireless earphones one day you will have to replace them anyway.

Nothing more, nothing less.
Besides, none of those are considered "obsolete" as much as proprietary software and hardware platforms with non-existent documentation. There's an obvious reason to why laptops and DSLRs feature these, no matter how old those features are.

justasmile, 30 May 2026Wait...
So the problem with space has been pretty much fixed, with Silicon-Carbon.

Not needed not in 2026 in much better future like wireless era
The Honor Win Turbo comes in three colors - Black, White and Blue. The starting price for the 12GB/256GB configuration is CNY 2,699 (€340), while the 12GB/512GB and the 16GB/512GB iterations go for CNY 2,999 (€380) and CNY 3,599 (€560), respectively.
Very hard math uh???
If 2699 CNY is 340 eur and 2999 CNY is 380 eur in other words 300 CNY is 40 eur then how the 600 CNY increase could be 560 eur instead of 480 eur???
