Its not like this is the iPod days where it really is the best product on the market when most other MP3 players don't even have pixel displays and use lovely (compared to today) flash memory.

were there mp3 players made with vector screens or something?

a lot of the other mp3 players at the time had LED or transflective LCD displays with 7-segment digits and a few icons built into the display structure, like a car radio or walkman. one scrolling line of "text"

The iphone without headphone jack is exactly the same as the ipod shuffle without buttons. Remember that

android is still very bad. my favorite thing is that on the nexus 5x, a "small" android phone, it is impossible to reach touch targets on the upper left/right when holding the phone one handed because even a small android is bigger than the iPhone 6

also there's no reachability to bring it down

android is a mess! sad!

My nexus four is very nice. I can reach the whole screen with my thumb, and it runs the newest version of the Android operating system, because I Customized and Rooted it.

loving cat chewed up my $35 Lightning earbuds that only work with one device

don't even need a cat, the things break by themselves and people are always coming into the used computer store i work at desperate for a third-party iphone cable for less than apple charges

we don't sell them anymore because the third-party ones also break and sometimes they don't even work in the first place.

No you see, nothing needs a headphone jack anymore... We should just throw these milions of consumer products in the garbage since they only support 3.5mm input or output or whatever. Bluetooth is the future and I don't understand how radio works

"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.
3.5mm jack is literally the only reliable connection on the whole device. GG apple
