I'm more interested in redundancy rather than more features (as a consumer). I've had to buy a new phone twice because the phones charing was finiky. Since you can't access the phones storage, this can be a death sentence to your data (and phone).
From a embedded developers perspective, I want some analog pins. As companies remove the aux port from phones, we are losing the ability to send/recieve analog signals.
- Retr0id 4y agoThe spec allows for analog audio output, it just requires a multiplexer IC on the device-side. This is how passive USB-C to 3.5mm audio dongles work, but not all devices support it (since they either don't have the mux, or don't have a DAC, or the designers were lazy).
- spaghettiToy 4y ago>This is how passive USB-C to 3.5mm audio dongles work From what I've read, this isn't exactly reliable. Maybe we can blame the device IC, but it gives me Bluetooth vibes where everyone blames each other. Anyway, happy to see there is demand for it. I'll still be optimistic.
- Retr0id 4y agoIt's been perfectly reliable on the devices I've constructed. I suppose the main issue is the physical construction of the dongle itself - I've had reliability issues with 3.5mm cables for as long as I can remember, but I wouldn't exactly call disintegrating cables "bluetooth vibes".
