> iPhones don't support memory cards or wired headphones You’re right about memory cards, but wrong about wired headphones. They work just fine, I just either need headphones with a Lightning plug or a Lightning to 3.5mm adapter, similar to all the Android phones that don’t have a 3.5mm headphone jack, but replace Lightning with USB-C.

Yes, if you buy an Android phone without an industry standard headphone jack, you have to deal with the same problems as an iPhone. Or you can select a phone where it's simple. Lightning and USB-C headphones and adapters exist, of course, but it's easier to have one set of headphones that works for everything except the gameboy advance (nintendo learned and went back to 3.5mm), and has an adapter taped to the receiver if you want to plug into your receiver.

  Headphone jacks are no longer common on Android phones either so this is a very strange dig at Apple. Samsung, Google, and most other mainstream companies haven’t included them in years. The official adapter from Apple costs $9 and works flawlessly. https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MMX62AM/A/lightning-to-35-mm-headphone-jack-adapter https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MMX62AM/A/lightning-to-35...

    Kind of sucks when you're on a flight and have to pick between charging the phone and listening to the movie.

      That is a legitimate criticism. There are adapters that enable this, but they're a bit more expensive. I guess Apple's official answer to that is either bluetooth earbuds like AirPods or using MagSafe to charge.

    They also removed it after ridiculing Apple for the move.

Nah Android folks still have refurbished LG phone or ROG phone to buy to be honest. Top tier DAC chip is embedded into the phone directly. If you are not using top tier TypeC DAC cost 200USD or something, your sound quality lose in every aspect. ROG phone current has the best audio hardware but guess who's second? It's LG. LG from 2019 still holds the throne if Asus didn't realize they should put a DAC inside ROG phone 5.

  How much longer are these LG phones supported by security updates? They left the Android market years ago.
