you mean this strange old socket that is (at least for me) primarily used for collecting dust since almost a decade? yeah, personally I can live without it.

and this fortunately is not apple. You can use every brand of earbud and use all of the features, so I don't really get your point at all. the phone is very good and I hope I will be able to use it until the 30s

Having a headphone jack will let you use any kind of headphone produced in the last 50 years, which has a 3.5mm jack. Also, while listening to music you could also charge your phone, if you choose to, but not with a USB-C only port. Furthermore, USB-C DACs are stupid, they are an annoyance, even the ones with the shortest cables - I broke three of them in two months because they're idiotically designed and they don't fold in my pocket - a thing that never happened with headphone cables.

You also don't get a noticeable delay on the audio, which imo makes watching any video horrible

Two years in and providing a USB-C adapter my wife is still complaining that her current phone doesn't have a headphone jack.

For my daughter I selected the phone mostly for repairability combined with colour choice, which landed me with Nokia - which ended up having a headphone jack. Didn't pay attention to that, but she's happy it is there.

Out of curiosity, what features are restricted on iPhones for off-brand earbuds?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I know with my iPhone 12 Siri is shit on my Sony linkbuds. It won’t read my messages like it would with the AirPods I replaced or allow me to reply with them

Tell me a pair of wireless headphones that are as good and around the same price as the moondrop Aria's with extremely low latency (so they can be used for rhythm games) and can buy a replacement case for not too much.

Also Bluetooth's audio quality is terrible when also using the microphone at the same time. So you can't really make a call and enjoy listening to music at the same time

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I agree with you, but why would you make a calla and listen to music at the same time?

[–] newIdentity 12 points 1 year ago

I used to do it all the time during Corona while being home schooled.

Or when you simply just want to watch a video together.

I got a 30 dollar pair of knockoff ipods for my Samsung and the audio quality is better than the wired akg buds it came with. They also sell for less now. No issues with battery life and the case has a battery level display. They also can be wirelessly charged. They're my favorites.

I always plug in my car stereo to that old socket in my car...

You might want to look into a bluetooth to FM radio dongle

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I tried one, it sucked balls, it was a cheap brand though, so I'm open to recommendations.
