All we need now is a headphone jack

    We need SD cards more. They removed them so they can charge you 300 $ to upgrade 128gb and to force you into shitty cloud service.

    Again, just anti consumer bullshit spearheaded by Apple and gargled by Samsung.

    I have flashbacks to using external storage on Android. It was such a shit show of an API. That being said, external storage, to break away from cloud storage is the next needed thing. We need to own the data.

    When you design an OS to pretend there's no such thing as a file, it ends up being bad at handling files.

    Yeah, even today, browsing through files on Android is a fucking mess. And there isn't an SD card.

    So the SD card wasn't the problem

    I was trying to figure out recently how do I copy files into application user data directory, it turns out you just can't, lol.

    You can with very basic root tools, but really that just solidifies your point. It's an easy thing to do, but they've intentionally taken away the ability for no good reason

    Definitely. Never understood why some manufacturers removed jacks

    I personally prefer my bluetooth headphones, but it's not like bluetooth and jacks can't exist on the same device..

    Plus, pairing bluetooth in a car can be annoying as fuck. Looking at you, Nissan

    BT pairing in our Ram works fine, and it works fine with the aftermarket Pioneer radio in my car. I've never had a major issue with either one with any phone I've owned, iPhone or Android.

    For our Mazda, though, BT pairing does not work reliably with my Samsung S21 - it's okay for phone calls (in fact, the car "steals" my calls if I'm on the phone at home and my wife gets home with the car), but for music it almost never works correctly, unless I'm also using Android Auto, which is rare because I just don't need it for most day-to-day drives. The BT phone and music works fine for my wife's iPhone, though.

    I blame the car - my phone works just fine with several sets of Bluetooth headsets, and the other two car stereos. I think Mazda just didn't bother to do any debugging before they shipped that piece of shit to the dealers. (This theory is based on other bugs we've found in the infotainment system as well.)

    Yeah, they could coexist. I'm partial to non-bluetooth, but only because they come in shapes that I find more comfortable, and I've yet to find bluetooth ones that don't make my ears hurt

    I'd be almost ready to say that we don't need them any more if Bluetooth headphones were about 100x better and cheaper

    At the same time, wired earphones/headphones are already just as good with a lot less parts/complexity.

    You don't need batteries, radios, and chips for coding/decoding a signal coming out of a headphone jack. You can just plumb it straight into the speakers. No need to mess with controls and all of that, which would make them a lot cheaper.

    Don’t forget how new Bluetooth headphones require that you download an app to set up the headphone. So a whole new data harvesting broker forces itself right where an audiojack used to be.

    Check on the AppStore’s the kind of personal data one has to handover to tune the headphones. Total fuckery!
