What are some tech products that you want that you can't seem to find? (lemmy.zip)

Stuff like a pretty case with slots for optical drives, a laptop with a shitton of ports and all-day battery life or anything else that seems to go against the trends.

This thread is for complaining about how you can't find it and (maybe) finding it thanks to someone else.

A phone with the charging port on the upper side instead of the bottom. This makes using the phone easier when it is being charged. Also, recessed camera lenses. Why do they have to stick out? When placing the phone on a surface, the camera lens cover will get scratches over time. If the phone was just one milimeter thicker, the cameras on the back wouldn't stick out and one wouldn't need a phone case, that adds to thickness anyway. It also would be nice if phone manufacturors would still have smaller screen sizes (max. 6") in their portfolio, as it is inconvenient to carry a larger phone in a pocket.

Right angle charging cord helps #1.

Almost everyone had their phones in cases before phones had camera bumps. Phones have camera bumps because they realized they might as well use the extra thickness for more camera hardware.

Gimme a thicker phone for more battery life and thermal performance, and I'll slap a cover on anyway because I like my hardware to be able to last. But alas, thinner is better apparently, even if it comes with a horrendous bump
