Yeah, but installing a screen protector is a “permanent” action. If you ever decide “I want to watch a video on my phone with my partner”, you’re pretty much out of luck unless you want to destroy your screen protector for a single 2-minute YouTube video. Making this a toggle is actually a really good idea IMO, as this gives users more agency over when their screen is private.
Screen protectors I saw and used were portrait-only, meaning landscape orientation had viewing angles unchanged. If by video you mean shorts/tiktoks/reels, they are short form and it won’t hurt to give it to them for 20 seconds, or, you know, put it a bit further from your face so both your faces are in the right angle.
I don’t see downsides in most phones coming with the kit in a box or pre-installed by default. There are apparently ways to make them cheap and shitty, like any phone accessory, but that’s a question of quality, not the question of functionality. And I don’t see why wider angles in portrait orientation are of any use.
pretty much. it used to be that there would be sooooooooooo many changes that it made upgrading every year or two worth it. But now it’s just gimmicks and stupid shit. it isn’t necessary to upgrade every year or two anymore.
That’s stupid.
Buy a privacy screen protector and stop wasting battery juice.

But then, what “innovation” manufacturers will hype to try to make you buy a new phone every year?
I’ve been having this disrupting ideas for for years, and it seems that every year I (sadly) get one more:
Does the phone costs double? I don’t care. Shut up and take my money!
