I'm really mad that they removed my external antenna. Used to be, you could get better replacement antennas for your phone, or even replace a damaged one. All it takes is one bump or jiggle the wrong way, and the internal antenna for your phone gets disconnected, and now you need an entirely new phone. Removing the antenna socket was a cost cutting measure for phone manufacturers that ensures you have to replace the device earlier. Remember your first antenna phone? It probably lasted 5 years. Modern smartphones get churned out every 18 months. They've played us for fools.
