I’m fairly sure if they took porn off the internet, there’d only be one website left, and it’d be called “Bring back the porn!”

If you want to have something that is similiar in haptics and feeling, maybe the Nothing Phone 1 is worth a look.

Personally, I would go for a Fairphone 4 because of repairability nowadays, but I’m okay with my iPhone 14 Pro at the moment. Will switch to android for the next phone though.

I would try to retrobright it and if you are not happy with the result, you can still paint it. You can also try to sunbright it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8P1OVj0IcqY

Painting it requires sanding, a lot if masking and wears off over time if the device is in use. And it’s irreversible. Once the damage is done, theres no way back.

If it works as good as Rosetta 2 and has decent power, it would be a great addition to the market.

Let’s hope they deliver, but I fear that qualcom lacks the software and x86 gaming background to pull this off by themselves. And as AMD is getting better and better and all the major gaming laptop and gaming handheld manufacturers already have way more experience with x86 hardware than with ARM.

Creating a compatibility layer between to different architectures is already hard enough and Apple is one of the few companies with the necessary resources while having control over every aspect if their hardware and software.
