[IFA 2023 ROUND-UP]
You can’t have an International Austellung without a little … “Funk.” And after nearly a century at the world’s most funked-up exhibition center, the Berlin Radio Show still brings it - in the form of foldables that keep getting thinner, gaming decks that keep getting larger … and phones that you can finally fix yourself.
I’m MrMobile, and I flew all the way to Germany to share the highs and the “whys” from the IFA 2023 tech show!

Always glad to see Fairphone is still in business, and thriving with new products! Sad they removed the headphone jack.

@startedtech 8 ай бұрын

Really a shame they dumped the headphone jack considering what they're all about. Can't begin to imagine the amount of old airpods and whatnot in the landfills because internal circuitry went bad or the batteries wore out.

@Wavyhill 8 ай бұрын

I was enjoying magic of a MagSafe-like wireless charger a full decade ago in 2013 with my Nexus 5 and the official Nexus charger. I even had a charger attached to the headboard of my bad and the magnets were strong enough that I could "hang up" the phone like an old landline handset. It even worked with a case, as the official LG Nexus 5 flip case also included little embedded metal discs for the magnets in the charger to adhere to. Google really should have tried to get other Android manufacturers to adopt their standard way back then, since Google and LG came up with the idea Apple is now acting like they invented.

@TheMrMobile 8 ай бұрын

To turn the clock even further back: it's Palm that really deserves the credit for getting there first. The Pre and Pixi smartphones were capable of wireless charging via the Palm Touchstone, which had magnets just as strong as MagSafe - in 2009! I loved that feature so much.

@Johnny_Socko 8 ай бұрын

@@TheMrMobile If you didn't say it, I would have. 😄 Palm Pre was my first, and still favorite, smartphone. The Touchstone was such a well-designed accessory. People were jerry-rigging them onto car dashboards, furniture, bedposts -- everywhere! (I just kept mine on the nightstand.)

@kaitlyn__L 7 ай бұрын

I must admit, I loved the Palm Pre as a concept (but couldn’t afford it), and my phones didn’t have wireless charging except the Nexus 5, so I thought the magnets were Qi standard thanks to both. When I found out how awkward it was to align on other phones I was really confused. And when MagSafe was announced I was underwhelmed, as I’d forgotten it wasn’t standard.

Just waiting for a large display handheld with physical keyboard and excellent controls like the Win 4 has (Seriously, near-perfect D-Pad and face button)

I believe the Fairphone 4 is available in the US now via Mureno or whatever the company is called. For me personally, I really like what Fairphone is doing here, not only focusing on sustainability but also bringing software updates over a very long period of time in the smartphone world. I am using a S22 Ultra since its launch but the Fairphone really put itself on the radar for my next phone wyen I want to replace it in about 4 years.

@nuffens 8 ай бұрын

I think you're right about the owtwards foldables. until the screens aren't as soft as they are I wouldn't trust myself to have one and not scratch it up. Appreciation to fairphone. Its great for someone who doesn't want to pay for a whole new damn phone each time something goes wrong

The two phones I'm most excited for are the Fairphone and the Pixel Fold. The most interesting feature of the Honor folding phone is that ultra-slim hinge, and frankly I hope they get into the business of selling the hinge to other manufacturers (ideally for me, Google) so that more folding phones can become this thin. I think Google's first-party version of Android is always the best version, so the Pixel Fold is the only folding phone I'm willing to consider. But I'd be willing to give that up for a phone that actually has the potential to make the industry less unethical. My only wish is for Fairphone to become a worker cooperative!
