My iPad. Intuitive to use. Convenient to use on the go. Can be paired with my iPhone to get on line wherever/whenever. Great for music production via “GarageBand” free app.

I love my iPhone 12 Pro Max as the screen is extra large so I’m able to watch certain shows whilst using other applications ! Camera is AMAZING volume is pretty good and the design is on point !!
01-17-2023 06:52 PM
I am a big Apple fan; I love the way my iPad, iPhone, iWatch and Mac all sync seamlessly!
01-17-2023 06:52 PM
The iPad is brilliant. From helping me keep in touch on the move to entertaining the kids and helping with school work during lockdown, I couldn't manage without it.
01-17-2023 06:53 PM
My iPad , after my TV remote, is my most favorite gadget… ideal for streaming films .. 👍🏻👍🏻
01-17-2023 06:57 PM
I love my Lenovo Yogabook. It has a built in drawing pad for the inner artist in me. The charging port could be updated though as it currently carries a micro usb port, C-charging or wireless would be so much better.

Features I would like to see in mobile technology (smartphones) in the future!
1. Under display selfie camara smartphones.
2. Powerful AI assistant (more advanced features than current AI)
3. Powerful and high capacity nano tech batteries.
4. Highly secured bio matric features.
5. Innovative Medical Apps.
Overall, the future of mobile technology is exciting and it will be interesting to see how these features will change the way we use and interact with our mobile devices.

What do you love most about your current devices? Main things are decent camera, display and IP68 rating.
What classic device would you like to see updated (if technology issues were no problem)? Razor flip but not costing >£1000
What future features would you like to see from mobile tech? Fully integrated home controls through voice commands that work.
01-17-2023 07:13 PM
What future features would you like to see from mobile tech? The capacity to throw the screen of my iphone onto my mac and continue with all of the phone's functionality on my computer screen.
01-17-2023 07:22 PM
As a senior citizen passswords being remember on my phone is a very valuable asset for me.
also like screen shots as a bonus.

What I like most about my Honor 10 lite is the blinking led light that let's me know when I have a message or missed call. I love this feature!
01-17-2023 07:49 PM
I have a Nokia 3.1. I like the fact that Android system upgrades are guaranteed for 3 years, so I don't fall behind. In the future I'd love to see zero-waste phones that can be easily repaired, made of recycled material, with parts that can be easily replaced
01-17-2023 07:57 PM
I love how great photos and videos I can take with my current phone.
01-17-2023 08:00 PM
My current mobile is a
Samsung S6, it is very old and hardly works as I can’t afford an upgrade due to cost of living. I really need a new phone.
Classic phone to be updated
I would love a folding phone with a big screen and a fast mobile
Future features
Instead of answering the mobile I can see through the case who is ringing me-
Say yes/no to answer
Or
If I move left the phone will answer
Or
If I move right the phone call will be rejected
The new mobile will beep and vibrate every 5 seconds if it is away from me, so I don’t forget it or if I drop it by mistake leave fone on silent in the library/doctors
The new mobile will tell me every hour how much battery power is left
The new mobile will beep every 5 minutes and vibrate to states the alarm/timer will go of shortly
The mobile if the alarm or timer goes off-I can speak to it they pressing stop or cancel
I can say I lost my mobile-The mobile will ring to location the lost mobile is.
The mobile has gps built in-I can track my mobile on the internet with my mobile telephone number-If someone steals my mobile

I love my iPad. I watch shows in any room and when I am travelling.

My favourite bit of tech... I love my smart watch. Tracking my exercise and checking my texts with just a sneaky glance at my wrist is great!
If I could design anything it would be to have solar/motion powered smart watches and phones. Charging them is a pain, not to mention expensive. And thinking of the bigger sustainable saving energy picture 🌍 It would be awesome xx
01-17-2023 08:37 PM
I would just love a homing device on my phone as i am forever putting it down and. Forgetting where i put it down .. Love the large battery and quick charge
01-17-2023 08:42 PM
The thing I would like to see with future tech, are sustainable ‘modular’ built devices, which can be easily and cheaply upgraded without the need to purchase a whole new device. So that when newer more powerful systems are made, the old module can be removed, refurbished/recycled and a new up to date module inserted. Similar to changing a battery.
01-17-2023 08:56 PM
Definitely my kindle oasis. I couldn’t get to sleep without it 😴
01-17-2023 09:00 PM
My Kindle is my favourite bit of tech. I can take it anywhere and read and even buy a new book in the click of a few buttons. It's also eco friendly/low carbon footprint so win win! 🙂
01-17-2023 09:29 PM
I like to use my samsung a22 to play games and do schoool stuff and chatting to and i can use it for many other stuff
01-17-2023 10:13 PM
Love my iPhone. It’s always there for me. As simple as that.
01-17-2023 10:19 PM
Fingerprint recognition makes life so easy
01-17-2023 10:19 PM
What i love about my Iphone is that i can print my docs at a click of a button. Do online shopping and read books. Also the camera quality is FaB. In future i would like to see the fingerprint feature again as this is no longer available on newer iphones.
01-17-2023 10:26 PM
What I love most about my current devices is that they all work together seamlessly (Apple IOS) so my iPhone, iPad, iWatch, Apple TV and Mac all talk to each other. I can also start something on one device and then carry it over to another.
01-17-2023 10:56 PM
I currently love and own my Samsung Galaxy A52 because it's cheap and has some tech that you'd normally find on their high range phone series. The one classic device I'd like to see updated is Samsung S4 Zoom because it's a funny looking phone and it can be updated to the latest tech in terms of its camera lens that zooms out and turns into a professional camera. A feature that I'd like to see in the future is phones that can last longer than 5 years and phones that can be rebuild easily by replacing the old tech with new one with a few easily removable parts.

Camera - now when I'm out and about I can capture anything I want. Being able to connect to the www seamlessly while out and about is awesome
01-17-2023 11:26 PM
I would love mobile tech to be able to relay information, map routes and video features directly to the eyes via a connected pair of glasses to a small area of the lens allowing the tech to communicate whilst you carry on with your normal daily tasks.
01-17-2023 11:34 PM
Love that i can listen to music 24/7 anywhere i want to
01-17-2023 11:48 PM
I love my Samsung A10 tablet, even though it's getting old now. I can watch films, shows or YouTube in bed, and it's convenient.
I'd like phones in the future to act like tricorders in Star trek, so you can just scan yourself when you're feeling ill!
01-17-2023 11:49 PM
Love my kindle paperwhite, can take it anywhere, read books or any documents I need
01-17-2023 11:50 PM
I would like to see some of the future features of mobile phones to include shatterproof screens, a universal charging port e.g. USB-C, a week long battery life, a secure way to both hold and operate the phone one handed, and a voice controlled camera function for zooming, exposure, focus and to take the actual picture itself (for both front and back cameras).
01-18-2023 04:32 AM
I love my Poco F3 as it packs a lot of features for a fraction of a price like 120hz refresh rate, great camera for my usage. I'd like to see Nokia come up new technology as they dominate the market before Iphone was a thing. For future features, I would like to see a battery that would last a smartphone for 2r hours just like the old days wherein you do not have to charge everyday.
01-18-2023 06:10 AM
I love my Samsung galaxy M30s and the Fingerprint login which seems so many Apps are now supporting (I just want SMARTY to figure out why I can't receive text messages from certain people - like my Doctors!
01-18-2023 06:31 AM
All tech is great but if there is no connectivity it is not much use, got to say my favorite in recent times would be my 30GB SMARTY Sim which provides a network connection for all devices in my car and also an effective backup for my home connection should it not be available for any reason
01-18-2023 06:38 AM
I love my iPhone SE 2022, it's small, has fingerprint recognition, which is seamless for logging into online banking apps, a good enough camers for me, and the battery life is good (when I turned off 5G!)
