What's mind boggling is how easy it is to manipulate large numbers of people to believe things that literally oppose what they're seeing with their own eyes. Also how people that clearly never (or barely) watched any football at all in their entire lives are now experts in the matter.
It's not fairly large and the hypothetical battery capacity inpact is negligible, if it even exists at all. I have a Sony Xperia 5V that has both a headphone jack and a micro sd card, while also having a (at the moment) top of the line processor, 5000mah of battery and being smaller than most (if not all) flagships. So yeah, I have to "resort to ad hominem" because it's the only explanation for you to choose to die on this very small hill where you're choosing to get screwed over.
My argument is very simple and you're too thick to get it. Having more options is alway better, having a 3.5mm jack has literally no downsides. There's no excuse to defend its exclusion. If you can't understand that, then I have nothing else to say. If you like to get fucked over, you do you man.
The battery increase goes from negligible to null. There's even a video from the StrangeParts channel where the guy adds the headphone jack to an iphone without having to remove anything at all. You drank the kool-aid my friend.
Regardless of cost, not even the mightiest gpu can play a 1440p game with path tracing for example at high refresh rates, without dlss. So no, the cost isn't the only issue.
This is a minor cosmetic feature used to entice fools to depart with their money.
Where I am right now it costs 23EUR which isn't that much less than the cost of the ksc75. I don't think that making a dongle requirement is ok. Specially when there's literally nothing stopping manufacturers from including it.
In the age of the internet buying DACs is a non issue
You clearly don't know much about the customs processes and restrictions in other countries then.
Why do you think "most" bought bluetooth earbuds in the first place? What's the source for your data regarding how many people want the jack back? Also, not sure where you live but in the EU it's very common to see people wearing wired earbuds/headphones.
Again, you're defending corporations taking away options from consumers while also (presumably) being a consumer yourself. Adding the jack would not make the phones more expensive and would also not take away any of the features you want. Why would anyone in their right mind be against this? What a joke.
The ksc75 is not an IEM. You're also mentioning a completely different (and more expensive) dongle than the one in the comment I reolied to.
And no, more wear on the usb-c port is not the only downside. In some places (e.g. where I live), you simply can't buy most dongles. I always have to travel or import stuff. You also have one more thing that you need to buy, carry around and that can break.
Depending on the headphone you want to use, that dongle is insufficient. My kiwi ears astrals sound worse with it and the koss ksc75 are rather quiet. This is with the EU version of the dongle, which has half the power of the US version.
It's also another damn thing you need to carry around and that can break. There's no reason not to include a headphone jack. Stop defending greedy design decisions that actively screw you over, it makes you look quite dumb.
Oh no, what will they do without us consumers! It's not like they have another massive industry that's buying literally almost all of their chips. Oh wait...

K dude, have fun being a corpo simp I guess.

Raytracing has never been worth the performance penalty imo.

Stop being a corpo simp. Makes you look dumb.
"I don't care about this, so fuck everyone else"
Nice attitude dude.
"SPEND MORE, BUY MORE"
Yeah, no thanks. I'd rather just have a headphone jack. This is a problem that has been solved for quite a while.

It's not. It uses a linux kernel but the architecture is completely different.
Oh no, what will they do without us consumers! It's not like they have another massive industry that's buying literally almost all of their chips. Oh wait...
Except that it's not "linux" like an actual open source linux distro is. There is no parallel here.
Also, a negative example shouldn't make you go "oh I guess there's no hope then, let's embrace the death of ownership".
Android's bs has nothing to do with it using linux.
Pirate it.
How? The article just says that you have to sideload it. How can sideloading an app brick your device?
I guess. It's still not a solution or something you can rely on.
When it comes to listening to music, 16bit is more than enough. There's no audible difference with 24bit.
