Phantom Feature

A useful and expected feature that is mysteriously lacking in a similar or competing product.

Expecting said feature to be present and then being unpleasantly surprised by its absence.

Using a device with the expectation that said features will be present.

Technical analogue to phantom limb

After years of Firefox and Chrome, I can't bear to use IE for all the phantom features

window phantom

A nosy neighbor who does not want to be caught spying. The person who wants to know everything that happens on the block. Seen in practically every neighborhood, and every movie depicting a neighborhood.

As I walked down the street, I had the eerie feeling that I was being watched. Must have been a window phantom.

pulling a phantom

Disappearing at random intervals; usually with a bunch of friends.

I'm tired of you pulling a phantom while we're walking through downtown Compton.
