And a time where 3rd party companies had no access to any of them
Well, the headphones are still a separate thing. They are even more separate now, than they ever were (each one earphone is separate now)
I bet there are people drooling at the idea of making those headphones part of people’s heads
And it was beautiful
That’s today if you’re looking for quality for any of them.
Ah yes, Lightning headphones. Or USB-C, can’t tell. Either way, none of the iPods accept these. Meanwhile late keypad phones all have headphone jacks…
EDIT: yup, USB-C. Also, the phone has a clock. And a camera, not a good one but a camera. It’s a ~2008-2010s Samsung.
I don’t remember having to deal with USB-C earbuds before the iPhone.
And that’s was a good thing too.
Don’t you remember the joy of carrying around a dozen proprietary cables. Oh dads cable drawer was great.
The time is now. Fuck relying on a tech giant for all my cloud storage and “convenience”
Do it! Selfhosting is a great hobby
It was better and the price of the slight convenience now is that the next generation, and your aunt and uncle, are openly cheering on nazis and pedophiles with no idea what’s actually happening in the world.
Shut up and carry the cassette tape thin digital camera already.
I’m always surprised I these conversations that almost no one mentions always having a useful, generally charged, decent close range flashlight.
I’m old enough to ha e experienced that having a zippo was the most reliable way to see close range stuff. Flashlights were basically dead battery containers.
I carry with me a small rechargeable flashlight everywhere and use it almost every day. I do not think I could have spent that money better.
It has a low light mode so I can see at night in the bedroom without waking up my partner and it’s really powerful at the same time. It even has a magnet and baseball cap clip so the hands can be free to do other stuff.
Having a flashlight in the phone is really nice, but I don’t think I will use it again.
How do you clip a flashlight to your baseball cap? It must not dangle at all?
The clip is designed to hold the cap quite firmly. It’s very handy, but not as good as actual headlamp
It’s an Olight Baton 3, you can look up better pictures on the internet if you want
My 2012 DLSR still takes better photos than the phone does. Admittedly, I don’t use it as often given its cumbersome nature.
I feel like this is a shitpost because they’re all weird or anachronistic in some way
I don’t miss all the different cables but fuck, do I miss being able to listen to a song without having to silence a spam call in the middle of it
guys the headphones aren’t supposed to be “headphones built into a phone”. they are more representative of speakers. cassette players, cd players, and MP3 players didn’t have built in speakers, you had to have headphones to listen to music. in no way am i advocating that anyone should listen to music or their shitty social media short videos, or have a phone call on speaker in public. im just saying you don’t need headphones anymore because phones have a built in speaker
(big boomboxes had big speakers yes but those were very cumbersome to carry around, i’m talking more Walkman’s)
but also i still have all those separate. i have a cell phone, a separate MP3/FLACC player, bluetooth headphones (which connect to both my phone and mp3 player), a smartwatch, an actual wallet, and a mirrorless camera.
