Android has always been a "me too" sort of affair so not surprised they are copying the worst decision apple ever made.

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
lol, so now you'll have to buy android compatible or iphone compatible headphones, because of course they don't use the same port.

or use bluetooth like some idiot chud with a charging fetish

i remember my w810i did not have a headphone jack

what it did have was a headphone jack dongle, which was bad because it cost $30 and the pins were made out of kitten fluff and hope

that's my memory of a great product from the walkman mobile listening music device company

not really related but it would be cool if there was a QLab knockoff for cell phones so all the retard poverty tier rentals that come in could build their idiot garbage at home and not have to use my good gear. could just feed them a 1/8" and call it a day. that would be cool

i had one of those too, and i remember the lovely headphone dongle

used the same connector as the charger, so you had to pick between listening to bangin tunes and charging your phone

I used to be on the same page with you here, but then I actually bought a cheapass pair of chinese BT earbuds that last like 10 hours on a charge and I couldn't give a gently caress less about the 3.5mm port.

Totally ok with this and apple's removal of the headphone jack as long as we can refer to this period in tech history as 'the big jack off' or some such
