or dials even!
External antennas!
Removable batteries!
Several days, or even a week, between charges!

Even by 2011 standards, the cartoonist was already behind on the times. Everyone had an iPhone or Android phone by then. There were still plenty of Blackberry, Symbian (Nokia), and Windows phone users around too, and those brands were all moving towards buttonless designs as well by 2011.
I got my first smartphone in 2013 or 14
Nowadays our phones just have temporary tails that are plugged in to charge.
