For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

    I never claimed otherwise? OP asked what a nifty feature on old gadgets was that’s not on newer gadgets, and I said that. That’s an old feature that’s not on newer gadgets, and it was very handy at the time because very few stores had adopted tap to pay. Would it be AS handy today? Certainly not, but there have still been times I’ve missed it when a store doesn’t have tap to pay.

    Yes it’s outdated. Isn’t that the whole point of everything in this thread??? I just keep getting more confused lol

    Edit: to clarify, the phone I had had BOTH MST and NFC. NFC had actually already been around and MST was the new thing at the time. It was simply a cool additional feature.
