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

    What I don’t understand is why the notification LED was removed in the first place? It can easily be put under the screen.
    The LED was so helpful, and it’s so annoying when I don’t see an important message for hours, because I haven’t used my phone.

      I’m guessing… they don’t want us deciding whether to engage with our phones, they want us looking at them more. If that means less convenience for us we can get fucked

      Because if you can read an LED notification system you have no purpose to pick up the cellphone.

      Cellphones are not designed FOR YOU. They are designed by marketeers for you to use.

      Once you realize this, all the anti-consumer shit makes sense.
