Why do you want a headphone jack instead of embracing the future? Do you want to go back to PS/2 ports as well?

- rusk 8y agoI wonder if this is the false equivalence behind the thinking of whatever soulless product drone came up with this idea?
- smcl 8y agoThat's the thing - to me at least it's not a given that the 3.5mm jack will disappear. There have been various failed attempts in the place to replace existing standards which have failed - things like Firewire and HD-DVD come to mind.
- Kiro 8y agoBut it's not replaced with something new, it's replaced with USB-C and bluetooth. It's just consolidated like it should be.
- fybe 8y agoI have a motherboard from 2016 that has USB 3.0 ports and get this, PS/2 ports. It's nice having choice. I use the PS/2 port for my keyboard, leaving 1 extra USB slot free. In my phone I have Bluetooth and a headphone jack. I love the choice there too. Point being, it doesn't have to be one or the other. You can have both. And 3.5 headphone jack is not even comparable to PS/2
- Kiro 8y ago> leaving 1 extra USB slot free You would also get that with an extra USB slot instead of the PS/2.
