THE PERSON THAT DOWNVOTED THIS DESERVES THEIR AIRPODS TO RUN OUT OF BATTERY DURING A 12 HOUR FLIGHT SITTING NEXT TO A CHILD AND THEIR CHATTY NO-VAX-MAKING-MY-OWN-BREAD-LOOK-AT-THE-PICTURES-OF-MY-C-SECTION-DELIVERY MOTHER
I’m with you. I still use my 3.5mm jack daily. I’ve got some cheap PC stereo speakers next to my bed, so I can listen to stuff to fall asleep to. They suck for music, but are just fine for audiobooks for instance.
I gotta say, I love my AirBuds sooooo much. I only use my nice cans on my computer anymore.
That’s a different use case though. Falling asleep with cheap speakers is a much better idea than big speakers… My partner and I leave shows or long VODs on to sleep, and even with the bass all the way down, sometimes I feel like it’s a bit distracting.
You’re onto something—I should snag us a pair of 2.0 speakers and just switch to those for sleep. Then we wouldn’t have to adjust the sub all the time.
Because 3.5mm is an already existent audio standard that is not only for cell phones but for sound instruments in general, because all my earphones and earbuds are 3.5mm and because I’d like to listen to music while the phone is plugged in and charging
When you land in your 30’s the warm feeling that makes you crave for a better world becomes a seething anger towards those who make this world harder to realize.
And you either take it out on strangers on the internet or become Ted Kaczynski
The number of times and situation I’ve wished I had wired earbuds. And this is someone who generally uses wireless headphones.
The fact that they removed it in the first place is bs
DO MANDATORY 3.5mm JACK NOW

That’s why you carry two sets of Airpods on a 12 hour flight. /s

I’d be fine with the lack of the port if they at least gave us 2 USB-C ports so I could charge and listen without a splitter.
I’m surprised their isn’t a phone case with a built in DAC and 3.5 tbh.
I wish I had a 3.5mm jack :( wired is better quality at the end of the day.
My phone came with a USB-3.5mm adapter but I never end up using it.
Why would you not use a usb-c headset?

Playing devil’s advocate here, but there’s spillters for that.
“Just use a dongle lol”
Already answered here
All of them suck.
Quite a high chance that your phone will also run out of battery on a 12 hour flight.
Edit: To clarify, I meant that it’s annoying to not be able to charge while using your headphones.
Joke’s on you, I’ll be able to change my phone battery
So will I though, I live in Finland.
3.5 works everywhere else and I prefer my headphones to work with my audio gear. The inflight entertainment on Delta uses 3.5 for example.
This is a very funny joke that several people didn’t get.
Need more of this energy in my life

Based. Also your writing style is great. Reminds me of those old “THIS IS A MOTHER FUCKING WASP” memes
Ahah thanks, but I am not based.
I’m just sour and acid, pH3 as in my name
Jeeez
Yes. Also I need a SCSI connector. Do that obsolete piece of shit as well.
FULL FLEDGED 40-GPIO-PIN LIKE A RASPBERRY PI
Fuck that. Do 16-lane PCIe gen 5 instead
OPEN MOTHERBOARD SO I CAN SOLDER RANDOM SHIT
Also a legacy 25 pin serial port, you never know when it’d come in handy
You mean parralel port right? I need to be able to drive 8 LEDs without any additional drivers.
I mean we can have both serial and parallel interfaces. Also two ps/2 ports because I want to be able to plug both a mouse and a keyboard.
And a dedicated true ADC game port. This shit was lit.
I’d love a Parallel port—I still have my ZIP drive!
25 pin serial is a thing
+a beefed up amplifier otherwise little point.
