"a supercomputer inside a camera that fits in your pocket" stopped being a novelty 15 years ago. We call it just "phone" now!

"lying flat on a table" is a critical feature for a device that on a daily basis lays on the table.

If it clanks and thuds every time you press it (and pressing it is the only way to use it) while lying on the table, then it is bad design that should be addressed.

I legit don't think I have even once used my phone lying on a table. Ergonomically that makes no sense. But then again I neither use my iPad nor Macbook lying flat on a table either, so what do I know...

Huh, that shocks me. I'd say half my day my phone is on my desk here. I'll occasionally swipe/tap it to deal with notifications and various other things.

But I came up using Nexus/Pixels, which had an "always on" display very early, a great UI around "glanceability" putting all kinds of useful and interesting things front and center, a much better Swipe keyboard, and a much more functional notifications experience, so maybe that trained this behavior.

Do you not? Do you just... leave your phone in your pocket all day?
