if only apple had chosen to use usb-c audio, they could have set a de facto standard for it, unlike android, the most popular os in the world

they can just use the usb audio standard!

what do you mean it’s for sound cards, just put one in the dongle!

i was setting up for a cellular industry conference today and our booth is behind a row of Chinese ODMs that appear to be offering all the great knockoffs Android people love to import

the strangest thing is that they also appear to have VoLTE candy bar dumb phones front and center as well... how are those still a thing? surely they must actually be android as well?

i think it would be nice if i could tell the phone to play music in the car and then it would play the music i have on the phone but i have to look at it touch it and get a felony charge

yeah and that's even after the original Nokia died and HMD took over. although iirc HMD has a lot of former Nokia employees

are some of the phones just minor variants meant for different areas of the world? like with different wireless bands support. i noticed the dumb phones were all 2g or 3g except for the matrix retro one which has LTE

the apple phone names are funny because they are full blown android naming. the conversion of ios devices to android is now complete.

apples naming is way worse than this, Sirocco is the only weirdo on the list (reference to a classic nokia apparently). the number corresponds roughly to where it is in the market (e.g. price bracket), .1 is a newer revision, and plus have larger screens than the corresponding non-plus

there are, granted, rather many of them to keep track of, but differentiating between many models using a number sequence is in and of itself a rather established practice. arguably the original purpose of numbers.

I had the original and it was cool an good. One of the first phones to have WAP, T9, and a bigass screen compared to the rest of the market. They almost all broke though.

10 years ago nokia was releasing 1 new phone per week. and they all had different features and no phone had a superset of all of them. want a camera, fm radio and flashlight? gently caress you! you can have any 2 but not all three!

there was way less commonality between the SW builds of various symbian s60 phones than you would think. like think fragmentation/reinventation issues worse than the android market, except all happening within one company.
