Remove the headphone jack years ago

>dude just drill a hole, watch this infographic :^)

Other than techrax memer there was a dude who actually added a working minijack to iPhone 7.

Sheesh, you're right. I could've sworn it'd still showed up on my other Bluetooth devices.

Nothing wrong with that.

He almost had a mental breakdown trying to make it work, though. He had to break several screens to get the headphone jack to fit into the case.

He also had to engineer a special flex circuit board to make it work.

$9, less than jewgle. stop kvetching, poorfags.

I used to use the headphone jack while at work so I could charge my phone at the same time, and I miss that feature. On the other hand I got done bt headphones and they last about a week with a full charge.

Don't buy it then.

I have wireless headphones but they die because of the cold when skiing. So wired headphones are a must.

>bluetooth headphones
Go back to plebit!

i bet they sound like shit

It does, and it's perfectly fine when Google does it, you say. All Applel phones with the X onwards use a folded logic board. The X and XS in particular use two battery cells that take up more space on the phone, hence the PCB folding. Plus, the 3.5mm port is the easiest to get dust into, get obstructed, have the connectors wear down etc. Would be nice as an optional feature, but living on the edge has consequences.

Have you removed telemetry junk from your phone? My S7 drops 10% in a day with no use, usually to 40% with use which includes browsing, GPS, bluetooth car, bluetooth headset, music.

I have a creative Zen that still works. Make better connectors.

>too much dust
>obstructed
>connectors wear down

Really trying, especially with the last one. I have had fluff collect in the headphone socket before, once. I've more frequently had to remove it from the USB C port though. Let's do away with wired charging in case we ever have to clean the port.

>paying 4x the price for half the audio quality so that you can remove a 1m cable between two objects that are located at the same position on your body at all times
Good goyim

It's $9 and it's a tousand times better than any android dongle. In fact I just got the new apple USB-C dongle for my HTC U11.

>tangled ipod earbuds becomes a meme
>taints the name of Apple inc.
>literally remove the ability to use cables with your product

dumb zoomer

3.5 jack has not been replaced.
usb to 3.5 dongles are either passive(and violate the usb spec so their days are probably numbered) or active(which means they'll have to basically fit an entire sound card, with DAC, amp and all that stuff - you can imagine the resulting quality and power output), and since usb can't freely rotate you're wearing down not just your headphone cable faster, but the usb port and the dongle itself as well - instead of just throwing away the headphones you'll have to repair or throw away you phone sooner or later, I've had enough of that bullshit during the Sony Ericsson age. And there's NO way to tell whether the dongle is passive or your phone supports passive dongles from just looking at them - you'll have to specifically look online and still test it on your own.
Bluetooth audio has been around forever and hasn't improved a single bit. All improvements over SBC are vendor locked either on the phone side or on the headphone side, the interference got even worse. The DACs and amps are even worse than in the dongles since they are not only size limited but also power limited.
Removing the jack doesn't even improve phone dimensions and waterproofing - the thinnest phone in the world has a headphone jack.
This decision is a direct anti-consumer attempt to make a quick buck off the artificial necessity of the accessories.

Paging Dr. Debiru.

I could use a wireless cable since my IEMs have MMCX connectors.
I don't have to since I use Samsung phones.

good goy, are they apple?

STOP BUYING APPLE PRODUCTS.

Look it up the Taptic Engine occupies the same space the headphone jack

honestly making your own cables is not that big of a deal

Bluetooth is meant for transferring packets and sucks at everything else. Even a bluetooth mouse is shit compared to one with a wireless receiver

Fat, juicy ass. Ahhh my loins, how they ache for a taste...

I'm pretty sure apple never claimed the removal of the headphones jack was to make device thinner

Uhh, my dear muslim, no headphone jack-retardation isn't Applel-only.

then you have the mess that is sbc vs apt-x vs apt-x hd vs aac and what your device supports and what the headphones support.

i’m okay with bluetooth over-ear headphones but, with few exceptions, bluetooth headphones are generally shit for in-ear or earbud applications.

The space wasn't needed for thinness. It was needed for a barometer. And for courage.

I'll start using Bluetooth when it stops sucking and blowing at the same time.

Not all phones have no 3.5mm jack, but all iPhones have no 3.5mm jack.

How easily the masses are brainwashed!

What are you still doing in this thread? Gogogo, subscribe to Casey Neistat, Markus Brownlee and LinuxTextTips! Quick, limited supply!

I'm not sure what I'll do when my first gen Google Pixel needs replacing.

Now even the newest iPads don't have headphone jacks, despite the fact there is obviously plenty of space for them. Fucking dumb as hell.

I literally went to the Apple store to buy an iPad Pro and left empty-handed and they lost a big sale.

Good goyim

>implying anyone would use those if only the iPhone had a headphone jack

/cyber/ af

bluetooth headphones sound like crap and i need good audio quality for my nip audio pornography

>claim it makes the device too thick
who claimed that?

Who even uses headphones on their phone? I had a moto g for 4 years and not once did I ever plug anything into the headphone jack. Infact I barely used the speakers outside of calling anyways, and I took maybe 30 pictures over that same time span. There is a lot of useless stuff on smartphones and it's good it's finally being removed

Isn't the pixel 3 lite supposed to have a jack on it?

but you can use the square reader that's bluetooth...

I just bought these babies the other day, and they sound extremely good, pretty much exactly like having the headphones physically connected to my iPhone/PC/Mac devices with proper codec support.

Just to add, they also double as a USB DAC, so they're great even if you don't need bluetooth at the time.

it was never about size

the jack was removed to force everyone to turn on their bluetooth radios for

FURTHER DATA COLLECTION AND TRACKING

remember that "this place is currently very active at this time" on google? That's from bluetooth data collection.

Is having a pocket-sized device to listen to music on not desirable anymore? iPods were so popular back in the day. I use my phone for music all the time... I almost always leave the house with earbuds in my pocket. This probably has something to do with the fact that I take transit, though. It's boring af without a podcast or music or a book.

source?

not saying I don't believe you... I just thought it was something else, like WiFi.

developers.google.com/beacons/

I'm pretty sure this is for something else. Like if a retailer wants to have their app know when you're in one of their stores. The Google Maps thing is just location, which a lot of people keep turned on all the time. They also use it for traffic data

>look everyone I need attention
What real life situation would ever require this you faggot. hurrrr im presenting with headphones in and charging my phone

while I'm uncertain about the actual use behind the beacon, I know that bluetooth is used for those purposes.

I can't remember the name, but there was a company in the states that used bluetooth uids to figure out how busy libraries/classrooms etc were.

I've seen documentaries on how they've been used in France to evaluate traffic flow (uid passes two beacons w/ known distance in x time, how fast where they going?).

This isn't far fetched, you could set up a bluetooth surveillance system right now if you wanted it. Keep in mind they most likely have access to your bluetooth unique identifier since they provide you with the hardware.

Whats the name of the device?

Earstudio es100

but square has a lightning reader

>use bluetooth headphones as my main way of listening to things

Amen, brother, I won't fall for this scam.

With literally every single iphone except the 7 (which you never should have purchased), you can use wireless charging and the adapter.

It hasn't been, but it will be. Once USB-C stops being such a fucking mess, it will do to the 3.5 jack what HDMI did to Composite (and should do to Tos-Link).

The Bose wireless Soundsport are genuinely terrible headphones.
Both pairs I've owned had terrible buzzing in the right earphone, and also the volume was far more prominent in the right earphone.
I'm still waiting on a response from Bose support.
Pretty fucking terrible, each pair was bought in a different country too.

The post you replied to literally explains why it won't happen.

I got no problem with them, I know they’re good on the 2 year warranty and they support is based in my country.

>bottom of the barrel chinkshit
I'm confused alright.

best of luck then.
to be fair the actual clarity seems fine but because of my terrible experience I can't recommend them to anybody.
They make listening to audiobooks and podcasts really rough, and even a lot of my music you can just clearly hear the buzzing through the tunes.
Also wasn't happy they didn't honor the international warranty, so I had to wait until I got back out of the country, returned the first pair, returned home, bought a new pair only to find they have the exact same issue.

The post I replied to makes as much sense as someone who saw the world's first word processor (before microprocessors, even) and the early printers, and state that computers will never replace the typewriter.

Digital will replace analog, without question. Whether the products are actually better for it is debatable.

Except both approaches are not digital.

HDMI had objective advantages. Audio over USB has only objective disadvantages.

USB-C is digital, and it will eventually kill off most other ports.

In the beginning, word processors had only a single advantage in comparison to typewriters (easy to edit). Meanwhile, the disadvantages were numerous and considerable. They took minutes to boot, were much larger, were much heavier, much more difficult to repair, required a screen, and required the purchase of a printer (which itself took minutes to print each page). That changed over time.

Even if, eventually, headphones don't adapt to USB-C, you'll see something else that overtakes the 3.5 port. Maybe some other digital port, or (more likely) improved wireless tech. As it is, there are already wireless headsets that can be charged while in use (pic related). It's not really a stretch to think that you'll be able to charge wireless headphones off your phone in the future (all while the phone itself is charging on a wireless charger).

USB C dongles are either not digital in the first place(passive) or stop being digital at the end of the dongle. Active dongles duplicate phone hardware with worse hardware, and this cannot be improved because it has to be small. USB C headphones are the same. This holds for any possible future digital format. It simply makes no sense for audio hardware. Even wireless has better chances, current wireless headsets are crap because Bluetooth is crap.

I'm not talking about dongles sticking around. I'm talking about the end of the 3.1mm jack through deprecation. 1/4" jacks will likely stick around much longer for niche uses, such as in studios.

>I'm talking about the end of the 3.1mm jack through deprecation.
How can something be deprecated if nothing replaced it?

I wish they'd stop trying to make phones thin, and instead try and make them ergonomic. Fucking thin ass phones are such a bitch to hold into without a stupid ass cover.

Their replacements are already here. Either USB-C headphones or Bluetooth. Sure, bluetooth is inferior at the moment, just like the first word processors were inferior to typewriters. But Bluetooth tech can advance, and the head phone jack can't.

That doesn't mean you need to be an early adopter to either, but it will happen.
