To antique dealers, "antique" means at least 100 years old, "vintage" means at least 40 years old. How old should a phone be to be considered "vintage"?
@ludrol I was originally going to say "electronics" but the type varies hugely. I have a 30-year-old shortwave radio that's entirely digitally controlled and looks very similar to modern equivalents. A 20-year-old AA battery charger is fine. But a 20-year-old phone? Hopelessly outdated.
@joat I think that's the difference between digital and analogue tech. Moore's law (myth) keeps pushing the processors to being faster and faster, but analogue signals are just less distorted and the difference is beyond human perception.
