Some ppl like paying for an extra chonky accessory so they can charge their phone and listen to music at the same time. I call them retards.

i dont really mind not being able to charge and listen but i do mind carrying around a little fragile adapter just to use headphones when previously i could just plug them in
>>
i never thought about this until now:
the people who refuse to use wireless earbuds also get mad at using a dongle because you can't charge your phone at the same time

so not only can they not keep wireless buds charged, they can't keep their phone charged

are these people foids?

Clearly you've never heard a pair of actually decent speakers.

Even your generic brand android phones have speakers that shit all over the iPhone's. If your idea of "good enough" is that it produces sound at all, then I guess so anon...

They sound un-naturally forward in the mid range frequencies, makes voices sound really nasally compared to other phone speakers. while phone speakers will never have good bass, but the iPhone's is a cut worse to my ear if you even hear it at all.

The craziest thing from this entire thing wasn't that Apple removed the 3.5mm jack. Is that anyone followed suit.
I remember thinking when i first read about Apple removing the jack, "This will really bite them in the ass, Samsung will capitalize on this mistake." Right? This is the free market and the jack will prove a huge advantage to Samsung and others. Customers will probably demand Apple bring back the jack after it flops massively. Right? See pic related, nothing happens, people still buy any new phone slop they can get that will be obsolete in 1.5 years and the expensive Bluetooth earbuds, no question asked.
Serves me right for being so naive I guess.
>>
>>106766950
Because they’re looking at the whole market, not a few autists. A bit more room for battery, speakers, whatever it is, makes for a better package to advertise broadly than “well we still have the audio port most of you don’t use”
>>
>>106767109
>A bit more room for battery, speakers, whatever it is, makes for a better package to advertise broadly than “well we still have the audio port most of you don’t use”
Yeah, lol. That's why they slit each others throats every year they made a new model that's 0.0001mm thinner and can't go longer than a day without a charge, because they saved that 3.5mm jack space for a battery. They don't care about room for battery or anything else.

>>106764343
I think it's more likely that they just haven't really bought a new phone in 9 years (when apple removed the 3.5mm jack).
They probably don't even realize that modern smartphones don't charge at 2.5-5watts anymore. Phones used to take a couple hours to recharge (iphones still did until 2024 lmao), but now many chinkphones can recharge to 80% in like half an hour.
>>
>>106764227
>they sound the same anyway
Even if they did (they don't), even the lowest latency codecs introduce noticeable delay. Bluetooth is bearable for music, but a no go for anything audiovisual.
>>
>>106763755
Their audio out was shit quality anyway. It sounded worse than their middling yet acceptable USB-C dongle.
>>
>>106767374

Not to mention Apple doesn't even support those.

The real joke is USB 2.0 in 2025. These phones are known for their cameras, practically M43 level performance, stabilized video - and you can't transfer the files off of the device? 5gig USB 3.0 came out nearly TWENTY YEARS AGO.

I don't understand the constant bitching about a USB-C to 3.5mm DAC dongle that adds no weight and no length, costs $10, and sounds better than most on board 3.5mm jacks in the first place.

The amount of stupid brands following what they did, limiting one's choice to get something else. There's like one flagship left with a jack.

What's worse is Samsung for first making fun of Apple, telling people that they keep the headphone jack, and then following in Apple's footsteps anyway by removing it.

First of all that doesn't matter, second you're being tricked by them making the edge look thinner but then it grow in thickness further in (look at the gaps between the laptops).

a little more thickness would also support a thicker battery, but apple people prefer their devices to get sneaky downgrades in performance over time instead so the batteries last the same duration.
>>
>>106773783
17 pro and pro max have phenomenal battery life in part because they made them thicker than the last models.

1. It's still a status symbol
2. More people in the world can afford it. The exact same reason why video games have gone down the shorter yet record sales are made and why Zelda is doomed go be shit post BOTW
3. The goy have been successfully convinced that less options = good when people who have a clue (always the minority) know that this is bullshit.

This would be a non issue if Bluetooth earbuds lasted 24 hours on a single charge without putting then back in the case and yet they've been capped at 3 hrs playback for the past decade while phones get all the new battery tech.

removing the 3.5mm jack made usb-c dacs cheaper and more common which drives earphones much better than having the jack in previous phones. So honestly i think it worked out.
>>
>>106775556
>removing the 3.5mm jack made usb-c dacs cheaper and more common
this is wrong statement due to the timeline
the luddites might have had a *part* of a point before when iphones still used lightning port
it did work out as you say, but apple removing jack and apple being forced to use usbc were unrelated events

>>106775580
apple made the usb-c dac before they were required to put usb c charging ports on their phones
