I've been an iphone user for years. I also use the included headphones a lot because I make a lot of calls to clients and people I know personally when I'm on the road, and it's a lot easier to do that with headphones. Plus calls sound clearer in stereo. No way in hell I'm getting the new iphone. Not being able to charge the phone while I'm on a call that could last hours is a deal breaker for me, especially down the road when the phone' s battery loses a bunch of capacity and I still need to be on the phone and use GPS at the same time. Switching to Android has never been an easier choice than it is right now.

Moridin920 posted:I don't think that's illegal? Yeah I've never liked bluetooth car audio integration. There's never any high frequencies so calls are always really muffled sounding and every other thing out of your mouth is "what? I'm sorry what was that again?" and the volume/dynamic range is terrible so you either can't hear calls at all or they're blasting you out of the car. Headphones are better in that one specific, yet valid, instance I think.

RedMage129 posted:Features that increase the overall usable lifespan of your phone are bad for business. Unless an increase in usable lifespan is a desirable and competitive enough feature that it increases your sales enough to counterbalance the lost future sales. In other words, sometimes making an actual quality product is a good and profitable thing. Then again Apple already has enough market share and cultural influence aka guaranteed loyal customers aka suckers that it doesn't have to worry so much about stuff like that. It's weird how to break into a market and gain market share you have to build an excellent product all around for competition's sale but for retaining established market dominance it seems like you have to do the opposite: make whizbang gadgety toys with as short of a lifespan as possible to keep your loyal sucker customers buying as often as possible while the gettin's good.

I didn't know they said the headphone jack couldn't handle "HD" audio. Is that real? Did they really say that? Because a headphone jack is analog. It's just metal. It can handle infinite bandwidth, or at least right up until it's moving so many electrons that it physically melts from the heat, which thanks to the kinds of signals it transfers it is incapable of doing that. The connector has literally nothing to do with bandwidth or the "HDness" of a system. It is a physical extension of the headphone wires, which even the new wireless earbuds have, they're just really short and only exist inside the earbuds themselves, but they still have them. Literally every speaker in existence has metal cables or wire that connect it to the thing providing the electricity that moves the speakers. All the bandwidth processing and stuff happens in the digital to analog converters, which are entirely separate things. Basically I'm either gullible and missed the joke or Apple is outright lying, which would be shocking for a large corporation to do I know.

I have a MBP and I use the headphone jack almost every goddamn day. Apple's built-in speakers aren't absolute trash for laptop speakers but obviously they don't hold a candle to actual headphones, not to mention FaceTime or other video calls are tons easier to hear with headphones and ear buds and tons easier for the person on the other end to hear me when I talk through the built in mic on the earbuds. Also, if you use the built in microphone and type literally anything with the keyboard while on the call, the person on the other end will think you're in the middle of a loving avalanche. What loving idiot rear end in a top hat at Apple has convinced themselves that headphone jacks are some ancient relic of the past and not one of the most useful ports ever designed for transferring sound. edit: oh right, they don't actually believe that. They just want every part of their devices to be completely owned by them. I was about to make a joke about how they'll probably try and redesign RJ45 network ports so they'll own that too but then I remembered they've already removed those from their laptops so who the gently caress knows.

Apple is apparently sending surveys to Macbook Pro users asking if they use the headphone jack

Nonsense posted:Apple tracks how many times you stick things in there, why the gently caress do they need to ask users if they do use it or not? They're probably specifically targeting people who never use that jack so that when people inevitably call them loving stupid for removing the jacks from the MBPs they can say "but but but all these totally unbiased surveys THE PUBLIC filled out told us nobody ever uses them."

notZaar posted:Honestly when do you ever have the headphones on while you're charging? You don't listen to your music through the computer? Yeah what kind of crazy and impossible situation would you have to find yourself in to want to use headphones AND charge your phone at the same time? Besides of course when you're using GPS in your car and headphones on a call because cars are noisy and you want to be able to use both hands to drive, and you need the phone on a charger because GPS + phone calls use more battery power than Hillary Clinton's metal vibrator that fell out of her big wet pussy onto the street. Or literally any situation where you want to use that fancy screen while also having a conversation you want to hear better or don't want the rest of the world to hear.

I mean, a device can hold the appointments but if you don't have a human updating you on your meetings for the day just lol just lol. Ah yes my good man I too spend my time between reading stock tickers and surveying my domain from my helicopter to makes posts on forums.somethingawful.com as dictated by my personal secretary, a unicorn with genetically engineered typing fingers and a brain to use them. a retard posted:and they wouldn't have had to do that if they stopped trying to make their phones thinner after the 5. nobody's given a poo poo about how thin their phone is for years I've always wondered about this too. Who the gently caress is Apple making their phones thinner for? Why is thinness the number 1 priority? Who gives a poo poo? Yay my phone will now bend in my pocket or if it's out of my pocket and I look at it funny. Then again, it's Apple fans we're talking about here. They'll squeal with glee about literally anything they're told they should be excited about. GreatGreen fucked around with this message at 23:33 on Sep 15, 2016 |

Is that a good idea?" and Apple says "no, you like it like that. That way is innovative. Also we invented toilet paper" and apple users then say "wow yes you're right we like it like that. And we're so glad you invented toilet paper."

Apple fans literally believe that unlike every other company in the world, Apple makes magical space products from the future that will make all your problems go away and that to doubt or question anything they do is to DOUBT OR QUESTION THE MARCH OF HUMAN PROGRESS and it's hilarious
