This is why I only buy phones that still have the headphone jack (even if they are an endangered species)
because some dont get security and feature/bug updates. for that i recommendeed simply to install something like e/os as an operating system (OS). It sometimes still support 10+ year old phones and likely continue to support them for a while. The tech started to get so good that old phones are good enough so refurbishing them with another OS and not to trash them like profit focused companies want.
Just buy a usb c adapter when they become extinct... I've used mine way more then I expected
I use a usbc audio charger splitter and my phone came with usbc earbuds that are indestructible.
inb4 phones remove charging ports
Is it that difficult to get a phone with a headphone jack nowadays tho?
I'd be ok with no 3.5mm, but Christ on a cracker give me two USBC ports then...I want to charge and listen to music.
What will people want to mod the Android phone if the port didn't exist?
It depends. Ironically, cheaper phones are more likely to still have headphone jacks. Pretty much most entry level phones have headphone jacks, but they suck in literally every other way...
I bought my current phone for about 100 euros over a year ago, and it works just as well as my previous one which was much more expensive. Also has headphone jack.
My headphones start doing that at 30-40%, fucking infuriating lol
Same, 40% battery low every minute.
I'm a hater for anything wireless but if it was John de Lancie in my ear I might consider it.
I bought a handful of adapters because I like my wired headphones. Its a shame I have to do that though.
my old pair would do this every minute for a full quarter of the battery life. you could turn it off, but you had to turn a bunch of other stuff off as well. why is this even a feature on headphones? maybe say it once at the 25% mark or when first turned on around that range. making content unlistenable by repeating it every 60 seconds is not an idea anyone should ever have had.
I usually only have one ear in at a time and they charge faster than they deplete
This is why I still cling to my trusty Samsung S10. Still has a headphone jack for my IEMs and a heart rate monitor.
I'm gonna make 65 million 3.57 mm adaptors for USB C and flood the market
I have a Pixel 4a 5G mostly just because of the 3.5mm jack. I honestly don't know what I'll replace it with when it dies. I'm not exactly an audiophile, but I have too many headphones that I love. Ugh.
While I'm kinda pissed that my skullcandy cassette headphones are cracked on both ears and I had to cover them in superglue... the battery lasts a long time. I charge them once a month. But I also don't use them unless I'm on the toilet lol... otherwise I just listen to music on my Bluetooth speaker or not at all.
I don't remember the last time my Bluetooth earbuds did that. Some of them last so long.
To be fair my momentum 4s have 60hour battery life.
My sony 1000 xm4 get something like 18 hours and I've never ran into a problem... 60hours I'd need to charge every 6 months or so dang must be nice!!!
And thats why I am never going to buy a phone without a 3.5mm jack.
mine just start beeping so fcking loud, louder than the music and I can't lower it
You can just use an adapter if you really need to. That's what I do in my car, because my car doesn't support Bluetooth, but has a 3,5mm jack.
