>thinner than any iphone>still came with a 3.5mm jack
>>107015638The whole point of removing the headphone jack was so they could sell you AirPods.
>no taptic engine
>>107015650true
>>107015638But it doesn't come with a phone.

>7th gen was 0.2mm thinner than iPhone AirIt's the end of the world! Everyone ditch your phones and just use an iPod!The headphone jack is gone from phones, stop living in the past lmao

>>107015906>good goyBack to /pol/>cons000000000000000me moreThis is the consumer technology board, heathen. You just want to consume a phone with a headphone jack and IR blaster and SD card slot and hot swappable battery and other antique features you don't need in 2025.You really popping out your SIM tray to replace your microSD card on a date so you can watch your little girl Chinese cartoons and then popping off the back to swap the battery because your 2015 phone has such bad battery life?
^consoomer rage
>>107015953Not an argument
>>107015943>This is the consumer technology boardthe cancer killing /g/
>>107015650Their shoddy earphones weren't enough?
>>107015638it was never about the thinness, but >>107015650
>>107015638android removed media player to shill online servicesthey also removed the calculator (at least in my phone) for some reason, do they want for me to ask gemini to do math for me or something?next time they will remove the sms app or something, stupid masons
>>107015638>>107015650>>107015906>>107015953>>107015973>I still love having dangling headphone wires fucking up my day I just fucking hate myself bro!Shit so cringe y'all niggers definitely had zero ounce of self-love to buy wireless products>muh 3.5mm jack!!!Nigger nobody cares about that anymore it's 2025.

>>107016614>defending billion dollar companies fucking up choice>thinks hes somehow based doing itcringe
>>107015943Truly the best of goys
>>107015650it was to minimax the battery capacity you faggots keep whining about
>>107017438ah of course, let's increase the battery by making you use Bluetooth for audio, truly genius of them
>>107017462kek
>>107015650I bet you the production cost of an airpod set is little different from the ol' iBuds or whatever that they sold for so long, those Airpods surely print (much more) money.
remember when they dun goofed and removed all of the buttons lmaoand then the buttons came back next gen kek
>>107015650Its more water proof if they remove that jack
>>107017613This was my first Apple product. It was a Christmas gift. I still have it but all of the music is gone now. What a piece of shit, I can't even be bothered selling it.
>>107017654my ipod nano got ruined when it was dipped into a pool. my mom was borrowing it, and i wasn't there when it happened, so i don't know how long it was underwater, i just know that it was.it was dead when it was given back to me, so i put in a new battery, and it worked again, but the charging circuit seemed to be fried, so it died again.you cannot tell me that happened because of water getting in the 3.5mm connector over that wideass old apple charging port they used that had a million pins. water got in because the device was not waterproof in the first place.
>>107017613The shuffle and nano lines were public testing for their designs. That's why they radically changed between generations. Plus they were cheap enough that millions sold and provided a large sample size for any issues and user responses.
>>107015650Came to say this. Thread's over.
>>107017613>removed all of the buttonsAlmost as bad as when they released pic rel
I remember getting an mp3 player out of a cereal box. They were just giving the things away at a certain point.
>>107018738No device is waterproof, only a degree of water resistance, and those old devices weren't advertised as IP68 dust and water resistance. Lost an iPod Touch to the rain while camping, so I understand your pain. Was the one and only time I smoked weed with the cool auntie, who has since passed on. So at least it was a fun night. Worst part was I was super broke, so had no computer nor backups at the time and LOST ALL MY MUSIC. It was quite traumatic. But I've built it up over the years since.
>>107015650How courageous. Hopefully people realise Apple is retarded and stop following them after their resent blunders.
that's progress at least
>>107015638>>107015650>>107015953>>107016389iTODDLERS BTFO
>>107015638So you can jack it up in there,uuuugh i wanna shove it in there, it's so masculine.
>>107015827Is that the ick when she gets raped?>the ickiest RAAAPE
>>107019822Is it because it's PENIS SHAPED?
I can bring my iPhone in a shower.Your iPod dies if it rains
>>107015650It's true but it was a net positive. They fit some extra stuff in there like the haptic engine and a bigger battery and the Lightning/USB-C is still wired to output audio. The only functionality you lose is being able to use wired headphones and charge at the same time.I never used 3.5mm so I was glad when they removed it. The decision was obviously motivated by money but depending on your use case you lost nothing and gained some.
>>107016499There's no more default calculator app on pixels now? Maybe too many people were dividing six million by various numbers. Math is antisemitic and racist.
>>107019822Consumers are NPCs that are constantly begging for more punishment
