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’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone mention IR transmitters in phones. Luckily, some phones are bringing them back (cough OnePlus Open cough)

      IR blasters are definitely my most-missed feature.

      Having a widget to control all kinds of devices in my house without having to buy new devices or plug things into Google or Amazon was nice.

      And never heading to hunt for the remote anywhere was priceless.

      My first cell could use this as a wireless connection to my laptop as a hot spot, circa 2003. Great times. Laser Internet
