The Bluetooth chipset installed in popular models from major manufacturers is vulnerable. Hackers could use it to initiate calls and eavesdrop on devices.

    I’m not saying to waste space… but when manufacturers start a pissing match among themselves and say that it’s because it’s what the customers want, we end up with shit. Why does anyone need a screen that curves around the edge of the phone? What purpose does this serve? Who actually asked for this?

    I would give up some of my screen area to have forward facing speakers. I want a thicker phone that has better battery life. I also want to be able to swap out my battery. Oh, and I don’t want the entire thing encased in glass. If we’re so concerned about phone size then they should stop designing them so that a case is required.
