Touch sensitive scroll bar on side of phone.

You know that spot where your left thumb is resting right now? It should have a capacitive slider part that you can scroll pages with. Keeps your disgusting thumb from blocking your porn.

My current phone allows you to use the fingerprint sensor on the back to flip down and up the Android notification / setting screen. I'd imagine newer models already have or could use it to scroll pages like you'd do on a trackpad ?

It adds a 25 cent cost for a new form of input that would require adjusting a decade of muscle memory. Imagine adjusting your phone in your hand and accidentally skipping around a few paragraphs. I don't know, I'm too suspicious of it.

I was just thinking that my phone has too many context sensitive little shit controls that happen all the time

oh this time I unlocked it for some reason it auto brought up taking a photo

oh now while trying to open my app list it brought up some kind of android wallet to pay for things?

every swipe a new and extraordinary adventure
