I'm more concerned about robocalls soon being able to have an actual conversation in your local dialect, and lie with ease about whatever scam they're running. That's going to fool some people a lot more than a scam call from "Microsoft" or any other company, or relative asking for money.

I'd like to see more energy-dense batteries, not lithium ones really, but something such as the theoretical lithium-air ones with energy-density comparable with gasoline. An energy cell that allow us to charge once and it'll last for days, preferable one that recharges very quickly to(within a minute, or two for example).

A button wouldn't hurt anyone, button is nice, button is great, feels so good to press one when I want to minimize my app, and go back to my "desktop". Current Smartphones are weird imo.

Removable batteries, that'd surely be amazing at least for someone who plans to make a phone lasts for several years, when it is dying out just remove it and replace it, plain and simple.

Chips with smart architecture, so it can process more information more quickly.

Also foldable smartphones everywhere, becoming as ubiquitous as our regular smartphones, tho seems unlikely in a third world country such as mines.

Neither is at all likely. But one-- the alien hypothesis-- is positively outlandish. The other is a disturbing, frightening possibility. If we have widespread problems with these kinds of sensors on military aircraft, ships, and land-based systems, we need to undertake an overhaul of the technology and implementation.

You should already be concerned that big tech companies use AI to censor content. It is even more disconcerting that they do it through shadow banning. Content is quietly shut down, but they are able to make it appear that it is just an unpopular opinion. They can also make unpopular or ludicrous ideas seem popular by only letting positive comments for ideas that they like. AI enables censorship on a mass scale and in real time. Something that would have taken a lot of time and money to do before just for the fact that a person would need to be involved in the censorship.

I'd like a simpler iphone that still works for business purposes, but doesn't have insane graphics, expensive cameras, crash detection, nanny features and tracking, etc. Basically an iphone 6 or 8, but one that doesn't get bricked by future ios updates. Our family all has 6 and 8s now and dread the day when they become obsolete.

Surely there's a market for this? I'm basically someone who needs more than a flip phone for work. I've gotten accustomed to the ios way of life, but I don't need all the new stuff.
