Read that as five years of major OS updates and seven years of security patches.
I had a Phone (2a), I actually liked it for what it is. It’s a gimmick, but a useful one in my life. I switched because of my own irresponsibility. I.e. I used it in environments it wasn’t meant to be in.
Hard to imagine a scenario where laying your phone on the table with the screen down and looking for flashing lights is more “useful” than just having it on a stand and looking at the screen, but you do you.
It’s not for that though, more like the notification light on old phones so if you’re just next to your phone for a while you can set different patterns for different notifications or people to pay attention to. then can set a persistent light up top for priority notifications so if you’re working or at the beach or something can just glance and see you have ‘priority’ information waiting and dont have to be staring at your phone
That’s ok. It’s not for everyone, even Nothing knows that. It was nice for me, but I didn’t choose to buy a new one because I wanted something that could stand a bit more abuse.

I use it as a dim light at night when I go to the loo, instead of blinding myself with the flash.
Also it’s a volume indicator which is occasionally useful.
Also, if you care, when people notice the back of my phone light up they comment on it because that isn’t normal. (2a)
