>If my 1st generation Pixel were to break today, I'd buy another 1st generation Pixel. Yup, no way I'm buying new a car just to listen to music while driving.

  Instead of buying a new car, you could just use the adaptor that comes with the phone.

    and when I lose that adaptor I won't be able to listen to music until I buy a new one. Why are we adding extra steps to an already solved problem?

    So you can arrive to your destination with 50% battery. There's really no argument that paints headphone jack removal as a net positive. Samsung has proved you can waterproof a phone with one (and an SD card!).

      Wait, what? Am I understanding you correctly, that you mean the adapter will use more battery? USB-C allows for analog audio passthrough, unlike Lightning.
      • kuschku 9y ago
        The adapter doesn’t allow charging while passing audio through, unless you use yet another adapter.

          It's not going to take a genius to start adding an aux-out to usb-c car chargers. I'll have to replace my micro usb car charger anyway.

      I think by adapter, he meant USB-C -> Audio jack dongle, not a bluetooth adapter. So battery wouldn't be an issue.

    Or a $40 headunit with a USB plug on the front.

  I actually bought a $25 bluetooth -> aux adapter that sits in my car like 2 years ago. I get in my car, plug in my phone to charge, bluetooth turns on and auto connects.
