Relativistic Smartphones

A theoretical (and wildly impractical) communication device that must account for or exploit relativistic effects. For an astronaut traveling at near-light speed, a normal smartphone would be useless—its internal clock, network pings, and data streams would be hopelessly desynchronized with everyone back home. A true relativistic smartphone would have to continuously calculate its own time dilation and adjust signal processing, or use FTL comms to bypass the issue entirely. Its main feature would be preserving your place in the social media timeline despite skipping years ahead.
Example: "Got the new iPhone with the relativistic chipset. It automatically applies time-dilation corrections to my messages. I can text someone from a fast ship, and it holds the message in a buffer, releasing it to the network at the exact nanosecond so it appears I replied instantly, even if I experienced a month-long journey."
