minus-square@Recant@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglish60•edit-211 months agoI really wish it had a 3.5mm audio jack. I don’t see what companies stand to earn, other than money, when they remove the headphone jack. I can see why Apple and Samsung removed it because the they can market their own wireless headphones. Removing the jack only removes capability, it is not like older phones didn’t have the capability to connect to Bluetooth headphones
