Still Waiting

I’ve had my iPhone for a little over a year. No Siri, but plenty of muscle memory and this weird contentment that only shows up when everything just works. Not because I’m some devoted Apple person—just because it actually works the way I need it to.

But I’m not loyal. I’m the type who’d trade it in a second for something faster and better looking, something that isn’t in every other person’s pocket on the U-Bahn. So when Sony announced the Xperia SL, I looked. These are the people who actually understand hardware. They could do something real.

Thing is, though—a phone that works isn’t just about what’s under the hood. It’s about that confidence you build after a year of using something, the way you stop thinking and just reach for it. You can’t get that from specs. No processor is going to give you that feeling.

I have no idea if the Xperia would. Probably doesn’t matter. By the time I actually care enough to switch, there’ll be something else I’m waiting for instead.
