    There are some positives and negatives to the desire for old form factors. Secondhand phones from 2018 cost much less than new ones but lack some of the new features like… I can’t think of any.

        I believe you on 5g, but hasn’t nfc become rarer rather than more common over time? Has there been a resurgence of nfc in recent years??

          All contactless payments use it. All your cards have it. All phones that you. Can pay from (which I don't know any new brand that doesn't offer this feature) uses it.

          I guess that covid was the resurgence, with all the banks and businesses setting up nfc cards and payment machines for zero touch payments.
