>in 2004 we had phones with internet browsers and holographic

B-but VR is the future, aanon?

Powerful operating systems, LTE, widespread encryption across large storage, seamless cloud storage, faster charging, wearable technology, AR/VR, unlimited calling and texting near ubiquitous in America (the few people who had either in 2004 paid a fuckload for that), amazing cameras, biometric security, NFC-based payment platforms...

The list goes on. What was your point exactly?

That modern phones can't make holographic messages anymore.

Are you dense?

please don't make the mistake of confusing google cardboard with VR

That's not a hologram. That's a shitty persistance of vision display caused by someone waving LEDs around.

A framerate of 'however fast you can jack it around' isn't very good.

I wonder who is dense.
Wanting such a bullshit feature.

It's better than shitty slab phones

For now, holography (or pseudo-holography, as >>58010360 pointed out) is too impractical for general use. Wide and flat touchscreens work well enough now that there's really no reason to replace them.

No more innovation in the West, only incremental updates each year for profit and profit only.
