When they mentioned the headphone jack being removed, I thought it was a joke. I have a 6S now and was considering getting the Pixel, in part because of the headphone jack and also for the more "open" ecosystem of Android (and things not proprietary-Apple). But now it's basically the same, so there's less motivation for me there. I just think Google could've swooped in and gotten the people who still appreciate headphone jacks.
Interesting round of new devices this year around, I wonder what the consensus is on who did it better, Google or Apple?
- macandcheese 9y agoPretty much have to stick to iPhone 6S for the rest of my life... So disappointing to see possibly THE ONLY universal port - the 3.5mm aux - be removed from devices before our eyes. I wonder what the adoption rate on Bluetooth / Lightning / USBC headphones is. Can't imagine more than 5% or so.
- culturestate 9y agoBluetooth headphone sales passed wired headphone sales last year, even before the iPhone 7 was announced [1]. I have to believe it’s only gone up from there. 1. https://qz.com/745108/wireless-headphone-sales-just-hit-a-tipping-point/ https://qz.com/745108/wireless-headphone-sales-just-hit-a-ti...
