Re: No Headphone Jack, No Sale

I find the disdain for analog technology by smartphone manufacturers deplorable.

Headphone jack, FM radio, IR blaster.

They do not make the phone 'bulky'. They do not significantly increase the cost of production or eat into profit margin.

Seems like those very useful features are now only found on midrange/budget phones e.g. the Nokia 6 (2018), rather than flagships.

If you want those useful features, you'll have to tolerate an inferior screen, an inferior camera, a slower chip, less memory/storage, less premium (more plastic) build, no certified waterproofing etc.
