For me its the 'Knock Code' that LG had on their phones (I really wish LG still made at least the V series phones)

Basically there was a four-square area and you set up a sequence of where you would tap to unlock the phone. That set of squares was only shown when you set up the code

Then, to unlock your phone, you would tap those areas in the sequence you set up (even with the screen off).

Fingerprint readers are nice, but I really do miss the knock code

Edit: did find this article with a way to do the knock code, but if done wrong, could brick your phone I guess.

Plus, article is from 2014. When I looked at XDA's info on it (they also being the developers) it looks like development on it is over, but individual modules may or may not still be supported by their devs

my old phone, a samsung j7 i believe, had a live concert feature that would make the music sound much more like you were at a concert, it was a complete gamechanger in listening to live albums. my new one doesnt have that feature :(

There is no way to play CD audio in the background on an X Box anymore. It used to be in Groove Music, and then supposedly in Windows Media Player, but I can't find either of those in the store.

Hey at least Xbox can play CDs.

PS5 is incompatible. [insert Techmoan video here]

I have a friend that will only use a flip phone physical keyboard + smart phone features. I don't really care and miss nothing.

I thought I missed actually having buttons for things, but recently I found out that no, touch screens are usually superior.

3D Touch was one of my favorite features on iPhone. When they took it away, it just didn't feel the same. Now I'm primarily a Pixel user
