The Frustrating Reality of Enthusiast Culture and Manufacturer Missteps

It's time to let go of the idea that universe enthusiasts are just "nice" people who love phones and have a unique perspective. Unfortunately, this isn't just about individual enthusiasts, but also how manufacturers think. It seems like they're trying way too hard to be trendy and end up creating products that don't serve consumers' needs.

This is evident in the constant attention given to "ice universe" - a term used to describe those who are skeptical of new phone releases. While it's easy to dismiss enthusiasts as being out of touch, the reality is that manufacturers are often elevating this group because they genuinely believe that everyone wants to be on the bleeding edge of technology. However, this approach ignores the needs and preferences of the majority.

The result is a market where companies focus on creating products that look cool, rather than serving the people who will actually use them. For example, the "waterfall screen" trend has sparked debate among enthusiasts, with some hailing it as the next big thing and others questioning its practicality. The truth is that this concept hasn't been executed well in most devices, leading to harsh displays that are more of a nuisance than a benefit.

The same issue persists with curved screens, which were once seen as a innovative feature but ultimately proved too gimmicky for mainstream appeal. Companies learned from their mistakes and adapted, but the same pattern is repeating itself with the waterfall screen trend. It's clear that manufacturers need to focus on software innovation rather than hardware gimmicks if they want to create products that truly serve consumers.

The consequences of this approach are far-reaching. As companies continue to prioritize style over substance, sales decline, and consumers are left with devices that fail to meet their needs. The market is expected to continue its downward trend, with manufacturers struggling to keep up with changing consumer preferences. It's a sad reality that many enthusiasts will have to endure.

So what does the future hold for the phone industry? Will companies finally listen to consumers and create products that serve their needs, or will they continue to prioritize style over substance? One thing is certain - if we want to see meaningful innovation, manufacturers need to start putting their focus on software rather than trying to outdo each other with flashy hardware. Only then can we expect to see devices that truly improve people's lives.

It's easy to get caught up in the hype surrounding new phone releases and forget about the problems that manufacturers are still trying to solve. Enthusiasts may be vocal about their concerns, but it's often the manufacturers themselves who need to take responsibility for creating products that work seamlessly together. As we move forward, it will be interesting to see if companies can learn from their mistakes and create devices that truly serve consumers.

Ultimately, it's time for manufacturers to stop ignoring the needs of enthusiasts and start listening to what they want. By doing so, companies can tap into a growing market of people who are looking for practical solutions rather than just fancy gadgets. With great power comes great responsibility, and it's up to manufacturers to use their resources to create products that truly make a difference in our lives.

I wish more people were telling the truth about how the market really works. Unfortunately, it seems like most people have left it to social media personalities who aren't exactly known for their expertise. But I'm trying my best to get through to you all and teach you how the market actually functions. It's not always easy, but I believe that with a little bit of hard work and dedication, we can create a better future for ourselves and our devices.

One thing is certain - if manufacturers continue to prioritize style over substance, we're going to see more of the same problems repeat themselves. But if they take a step back and focus on what really matters, I have no doubt that we'll see some amazing innovations in the years to come. It's time for companies to stop trying to one-up each other with flashy hardware and start focusing on creating devices that truly make a difference in people's lives.

burned everything down okay news alrighty so story numero only today's show we're gonna be talking about some tweets from ice universe if you are unaware ass universe is somewhat of a reliable samsung leaker person did tweet stuff and what's becoming more and more obvious is that he's just a dude that knows a guy who knows a guy and when he hears stuff he tweets it other than that ladies and gentlemen ice universe is a freaking idiot okay okay so here's how today's episode is gonna go I'm gonna read you some of his recent tweets you're probably gonna get mad at me I will then explain my position and I'll be right dug in him people's doubts about the waterfall screen or just like the question of the curved screen a few years ago its lack of foreskin foresight lack of foresight is what he said the waterfall screen can have a better feel more powerful vision and more powerful pressure sensitive virtual button than physical buttons waterfall screen is the inevitable direction of mobile phone design you must accept the pace of the manufacturer must be faster than the fans if you wait for the consumer to accept it then start designing everything is late and the market is already occupied by others in China such doubts are rare because Chinese consumers are exposed to a variety of phones they are accustomed to the emergence of new things people are looking forward to the waterfall screen you can think of problems including the wrong problem all of this well we saw and this one's my favorite one why is it that the rejection of the waterfall screen is short-sighted refuse the waterfall screen equals reject all external screen foldable phones like mate x10 thing equals reject any future 3d design of the screen equals let pixel ugly design rule the world equals end of the world you okay so you're probably like well hey that's mean gern he clearly just likes waterfall screens and you shouldn't call him an idiot just because he likes something ah but Nene that is not why I'm placing the label of idiot apana the butt cheeks of ass universe my issue is this waterfall screen is the inevitable direction of mobile phone design you must accept you can think of problems including wrong touch problem all this will be solved and then of course the whole end-of-the-world thing which will just all right let's let that go now I know it probably seems like I'm really singling out eyes universe today and yeah okay a little bit but but the reason why I'm bringing the bumbling z' of a rep nerd to your attention is because this isn't just a nice universe problem unfortunately this is kind of how a lot of quote-unquote enthusiasts feel not just the people in the comment sections of an unbox therapy video or in our / Android they really love me over there but it's the same reason why tech blogs are always elevating ice universe it's because it's how a lot of the manufacturers think too and that that is the sad part more and more it really seems like these manufacturers are trying way too hard to try to end up in a vertical instead of trying to end up in people's pockets to think that the phone companies can just go ahead and put all of their effort in the wrong places and then turn around to consumers and say it's inevitable except it is kind of gross it's the cool fish I have ever heard but go ahead I guess if that's how you think the market truly works go right ahead wrap a displayer on my dick for all I care a display condom what consumers it's inevitable accepted we're bending the displays anyway eventually they're gonna have to go all the way around your dick go right ahead keep ignoring the market keep telling customers what to accept and then you companies can accept your declining sales you accept having to make sure that solves problems for literally nobody improves people's lives a whole 0% but hey that screen to body ratio though people are looking forward to the waterfall screen you can think of problems including the wrong touch problem meaning your phone just does whatever once because you put your skin on it having to try to hold the thing and touching a display like that makes this happen oh this will be solved listen it's fine people robots taking over the world is inevitable so we're just gonna we're just gonna speed this up we're gonna cut your legs off right we're just gonna cut your legs right off and then like we'll replace them with robot legs I know you might be thinking oh but put on lights my why'd you have to cut off my legs I liked my legs they work just fine and you just had to cut them off why'd you do this but don't worry all the problems will be solved they keep just making up with hardware instead of innovating with software and instead of trying to solve problems that this manufacturers are too busy creating the problems and then they have to innovate ways to fix the problems did you hear me people their innovation the innovation that everyone keeps talking about is all going towards unflagging up what they have decided to up and then congratulations everybody there you go buy this a $1,000 problem in your pocket and then you wonder why people are holding on to their own phones longer the waterfall screen can have a better feel more powerful vision what more powerful vision what are you saying people's doubts about the waterfall screen are just like the question of the curved screen a few years ago huh when the Note edge was first shown off it was the one of those things it's like oh cool we can do this with technology now awesome but no I don't want to buy a curved there was way too harsh even though the technology concept itself made sense obviously that same technology has been implemented and used in most devices that we use now it's not nearly as harsh and they met the consumers halfway with that concept they made it more practical the waterfall screen is literally the same concept going horribly in the other direction but I get it it's cool right some phones will look like this this will be a trend some of you will buy them great but until companies start making their products for the people that they hope will buy them until they pay attention to those people and serve those people with practical devices that add functionality to their lives focus on software not hardware this market will continue to decline year over freaking year we are gonna continue to see this problem repeat itself over and over again rinse and repeat it will be the same thing every single year until I finally decide to scoop my eyes out with a spoon so thank you to Samsung Huawei and a few others who are learning to compromise for the market I still wish you would market these things instead of all your flagships all the time but whatever if I was wrong about needing less innovation and more compromise we wouldn't see success every single time a company did decide to compromise and yeah you might be angry with me you might hate the things that I say on a daily basis but I am trying my best to get through to you to teach you how the market actually works I wish I wish more people told you the truth but unfortunately for whatever reason they've all left it to the idiot that you watch from your toilet that's what we've come tooh boy oh no this one's gonna be uh this one's gonna be a doozy what daily tech news in a way that doesn't
