    I love how everybody’s shitting on it now, but I bet you that this started a bunch of copycats that’ll offer it at 1500 or more. Everyone laughed at “phones without jacks” and now even FairPhone released a model without jacks. FairPhone basically said: yeah, let’s go with a trend to add more e-waste and say we’re for the planet.

      Fwiw I still buy phones based on the headphone jack

      I’m a tech hipster and direct audio is flat out, tight, my humans

      Although I’m perfectly willing to admit cordless is better for most people’s use cases and I do own a pair of wireless headphones for that reason

        Same here (even though I own bluetooth headphones). No reason phones can’t support both
