What will Gen Z's own kids make of today's phones in twenty years

[Layla93]

Every generation's defining gadget eventually becomes a museum piece, chunky, quaint, obviously limited compared to whatever came after it, even though it felt genuinely cutting edge at the time

Twenty years out, imagine your own kid picking up today's flagship phone and reacting to it the way you'd react to a phone from the early 2000s now. What do you think that reaction actually looks like

Curious what specific feature people think ages the worst, and which one somehow still holds up

[Liam]

Camera quality holds up longest, that's the one spec that's already genuinely impressive right now

[TheGreatMoney]

Battery life ages worst, that's the complaint that's honestly stayed constant across every single generation

[Marcus]

The physical buttons age worst probably, future interfaces are clearly heading somewhere fully gestural

[BrightCanopy]

Screen size holds up surprisingly well, we've mostly settled into something that feels comfortably permanent

[Sophie92]

My kid's going to laugh at how thick these things still are compared to whatever comes next
