You know the pixel 2 doesn’t have a headphone jack either, right? Apple may have been first movers, but everyone is following.

- dogweather 8y agoThe iPhones have a lightning connector, but the Pixel 2's have USB-C. They look similar from a distance, so I hadn't thought about it. It was a pleasant surprise to see on the new phone.
- dragonwriter 8y ago> Apple may have been first movers, but everyone is following. Well, Google is following, but while Google is the software maker behind Android, they don't own the only, or even biggest, hardware business in that ecosystem. Samsung, OTOH, responded by keeping the jack and bundling higher quality wired headsets than the basic ones everyone used to bundle, but then Samsung also has removable storage on all their flagships, and, on one of flagship line, a stylus, so they pretty clearly aren't on board with the Apple “progress means dropping features” approach.
- Wildgoose 8y agoYes, of course I know that - but most of the Android eco-system (which is huge) does have a headphone jack.
