I think the horrible design choices on the most recent generation of products has taken some of the shine off the gleam of the fanboys. Just one port on the Macbook, no headphone port on the iPhone, and an OLED strip instead of function row? Just dumb as hell, reductionism is fine but at some point it becomes pointless and counter productive

macs are good up to a certain point and then loving laffo if you're dumping money into a 15in oled function bar nonsense machine

iphones are okay. i don't think i'll ever use em but in my line of work i'll probably get one in a few cycles, esp when all android phones purge the headphone jack

Is this something they're going to do? Killing the headphone jack on the recent iPhone was like, universally mocked

I can see a goal as dumb as this being something they'd aspire to tbh

Of course it's 100% possible as is so I'm not sure why they haven't pulled the trigger already

it's going down that route for a few ME TOO ME TOO manufacturers mainly the lovely ones like lenovo-owned motorola and poor HTC

i don't think it'll happen for awhile but it will eventually happen, it makes engineering easier and once usb-c headphones become more commonplace i can see it not being a big deal anymore

LG will probably keep it for awhile along with google's pixels. samsung will probably drop it in 2-4 years. i'm personally already making the move to bluetooth so after awhile personally it wouldn't matter to me
