The conventional wisdom about technology is that newer equals better. And in most cases, that’s true. Products get thinner and more powerful; new capabilities are added and existing ones are improved. But old features and attributes can be left behind. Usually we don’t miss them, but every now and then, we do.
Consider smartphones. They’re getting faster and better. But they’re also getting larger, and they’re losing traditional design elements like removable batteries. Moves like this have benefits—enabling, for instance, bigger displays and thinner profiles. But not everyone is a fan. Two new phones, one from Apple and the other from LG, attempt to win over the nostalgic users by blending a lot of new with a little bit of old. Do they succeed? To find out, I put on my Jordache jeans, popped some Men at Work into the cassette player and tossed my Rubik’s Cube aside to test the iPhone SE and the LG G5.
