 Honestly I have gotten so used to using Bluetooth headphones with my Android phone that removing the headphone jack doesn't strike me as an entirely bullshit idea, but having a single button on a phone certainly does.

Serious talk, trackballs are great for people who have trouble moving their shoulder/elbow/wrist or any combination thereof.

Yeah, I've known a few people over the years who swore by them.

Yeah, no

It's one of the to 10 most valuable companies in the world, a HUGE number of people use Apple products across all ages, social strata, education levels, technical savviness, etcetera. There is no such thing as an 'Apple Fan' because you can find anyone in their user base.

You are really an idiot child that needs to make up wild stories about people that don't exist to massage your tenderhole, that's great, a literally tiny difference in a computer product is enough to make such wild value judgments, etcetera.

Do yourself a favor and read up on 'the narcissism of small differences' and grok what it means while you can, because if you really still believed all this poo poo after, say, age 28 when your brain actually fully forms, then that would be incredibly sad.

And by non standard you mean not at all; correct ?

You never ran into the 2.5mm headphone jacks that were common in the 2000s? I think I still have some 2.5 to 3.5mm adapters around here somewhere.

 What would have been truly revolutionary is if they got rid of the headphone jack and used the extra space to add a BACK and a MENU button to the goddamn phone.
