Don't forget that they can't make the phones and ipods much thinner without redesigning the 3.5mm jack, too

- jaggederest 14y agoYou can implement TRRS connectors essentially as thin as you like, if you don't put sides on it. It looks like a U-shaped slot instead of a full sleeve. That said, probably not effective for a consumer device, since you'd have issues with it staying in place.

- ars 14y agoYou can use a 2.5mm connector - it's sufficiently standard that it's not hard to find devices (or adapters) that use it.
- jarek 14y agoUgh. 2.5 mm was used on a bunch of phones before people saw the light. I praised the day I got my new phone with a 3.5 mm connector. I don't want to use shitty provided earphones or use different earphones on my phone and laptop or have an adapter hanging off or sticking out of my phone, and I hope the market as a whole doesn't go back there.
