Removing the headphone jack makes the waterproofing easier and more effective.
- oliv__ 8y agoHow convenient
- btbuildem 8y agoThat sounds like a legitimate reason - they advertise water-resitance and waterproofing for the models lacking a headphone jack. But.. can't they just make a waterproof headphone jack??
- conception 8y agoYes.
- umichguy 8y agoSamsung does water resistant phone with their flagship S9. And they still have the 3.5.
- _emacsomancer_ 8y agoAnd the Samsung S5 has a headphone jack and even an easily-swappable battery, and still has waterproofing.
- nradov 8y agoFalse. Samsung devices have had good water resistance ratings while still retaining headphone ports. (In fact some of the older models even managed to do so with removable batteries.)
- wvenable 8y agoDoesn't seem to be an issue with Samsung phones.
- nikofeyn 8y agothat’s what apple wants people to believe so they believe it. however, it’s not true. for example, the lg v35 has an audio jack (and a high-end audio dac at that) and yet has the same water resistant rating, ip68, as the iphone xs.
