Almost all of these points are meaningless once you factor in samsung...
1. Removed it for water resistance - S7 and up have all had water resistance, while keeping the headphone jack
2. Removed for space for more features - Samsung literally fit a pen in their phone, while keeping the massive amount of features they normally bring
3. Removed for a bigger battery - Samsung fits very large batteries in their phones, with a headphone jack, and with the note, *with a pen*
I do believe if apple didn't remove it, someone else would have, but it was much too early. Bluetooth headphones arent there yet
Looking at the massive size of the taptic engine space can not be the issue.
@xTopu Actually it was the S4 Active. But S5 was the first "standard model" with IP67
@@etekweb i think he was talking about audio quality
Sorry friend, but Samsung have one of the worst real world battery lifes out there. Don't try pointing me towards synthetic tests saying otherwise, i've already seen them. I've also owned a samsung and had to get rid of it after 9 months because of it's attrocious battery life, not to mention how fast their batteries degrade too. The only way a Samsung device's battery could get better is if it exploded. Oh wait, they tried that feature already. Didn't go down too well.
You do have a valid point with the first and second points though, although most people never even touch the S Pen. The main reason people buy a note is purely for the larger screen.
There is another point to be made as far as space goes too. Have you seen the inside of a Samsung phone? They still use the same small pack style batteries that have been in use for over a decade. They are generally much smaller than what other manufacturers use today, which begs the question:
With the fact samsung have atrocious battery life and degrade very quickly, are their batteries even the amount of Amps they say they are, or are they modding the battery's built in firmware to report a higher number than is true?
That would certainly explain how when I had an S7, it always died within 5 hours of being unplugged. I have never had that bad of a battery life with ANY phone before, Androids included. Even when I had a Sony Xperia Z2, that lasted all day despite having a 2K display, without problems. And I'm not the only one either. Every friend of mine who has/had a samsung reports the same complaints. Even Linus himself had to release a follow up video to his S9 review where he initially praised the battery - because he realised after some time that the battery is in fact, absolutely terrible. And by some time, I mean a mere few months, never mind the expected minimum device lifespan of 1-2 years.
@xTopu Yep, you are right. I was just thinking that the S6 wasnt water resistant, and my brain stopped there
I can't say how many times my headphone jack saved my phone from falling to the floor.

Truth.
Screw the money grab.
There's courage, and then there's stupidity.
I'd say greed over stupidity. They know that the people that are willing to buy a phone without a headphone jack are dumb enough to not think about buying more of their over-priced accessories in dongle form. Also, they get to push their own branded goods over anything else. It's predatory market practice under the guise of innovation. It's Apple's way.
Nah, they are just evil.
Apple was greedy, stupidity is what followed in the next years, with everybody making the same mistake.
and then there's apple followed by samsung
They might even remove the power input in the future, just saying.
Reminds me of wireless charging.
I wish there was another way though. The power button has gone dodgy in my phone so everytime the wifi cuts out I have to take off the cover and press the little but of solder with a thin metal object at the right angle to restart it. Theres no other way to get to the restart option.

Venom415 that actually really is 😂
wwwKx terrible idea
"We don't have space!" Bruh. My Xiaomi phone has the 3.5mm jack, a mechanized front facing camera and still manages to fit in a 4000mAh battery. It's not like that made sacrifices either. The CPU and "graphics accelerator" were the fastest on the market when I bought it. It doesn't even get hot.(though I usually play less intensive games, if I remember playing PUBG also didn't heat it up though) The battery holds up nice too. Lasts long and charges fast. All that for a fraction of an iPhone with the downside being I wouldn't be surprised if Xiaomi spied on people though Apple is probably doing the same... Not even gonna mention Google. That argument is just bull.
No need to argue they are making use of smartphone too much smart and modern can't be imagine

Honestly dual cameras are fine. Samsung jas dual and a jack but they fit a pencil into their phone. Srry for grammar im lazy
Lg has 5 cameras and aux jack and memory card and finger print and nfc and wireless charging... Apple has a half eaten apple
WTH would anyone need more then 2 cameras in the first place?
Like I get you might want one facing the screen for selfies and one facing away from the screen for other pictures, but what good would a third camera be?
Agreed, I'd rather have a the jack than not even though most of the time I'm using a pair of Bluetooth headphones with my phone, but if they include the headphone jack I would not mind having a 2nd back camera for a better wide angle lens, but again not at the expense of the headphone jack.
“They need the space.” No, untrue. Strange Parts added a headphone jack to a iPhone. It’s just a empty space where the headphone would be now.
“Waterproof” many manufactures waterproof phones with a headphone jack.
I use my headphone jack much more then I go swimming with my phone.
He broke like 10 screens while doing that and he put it right on the corner, that extra space was used to help the phone sustain accidental corner drops, if they had put the jack there the screen would shatter as soon as you dropped the phone and it hit the corner.
The waterproof headphone jack is patented and costs royalties meaning it drives the price up to give us something that most of us don't use anyway... no thanks.
The water resistance is for accidents, not for swimming with your phone... if the water gets in, the warranty doesn't cover you. Many people accidentally dropped their phone in the water, they are most abused pieces of technology on the planet, so water resistance makes much more sense than a crappy 3 pin connector from 60s that takes so much space.
@jackthegamer Nope even from 2 meters the iPhone dropped on a corner does not break, you get scratches and dings on corner, so it's all cosmetic and both the screen and back glass are still fine, this is because there is some room behind the frame which really helps to absorb the damage... adding a headphone jack which is pushing against the screen is the total opposite... there just wasn't room for it.

The moment you try to sell me a phone without the jack, we're done talking.
Bad enough I can't even swap batteries anymore and may have to deal with the damn notch, you're not forcing me to buy $60 earbuds that are stiff, uncomfortable, and get lost easily too.
I quite frankly don't understand what's the big deal about the notch. Is that couple millimetres more space really that important? For the looks I don't really understand either, phone with and without notch look practically identical.
Lg v20 was the last phone that had a removable battery,i have it and im lucky that it works like the first day
@@fruit5003 The notch is annoying as it cuts into whatever you're trying to play, watch, do, etc as most programs that are full-screen don't account for it since the screen wraps around it. Basically, you're missing a chunk of your image for the sake of thinner bezels. Not remotely worth it.
Just glad my G6 doesn't have it.
@@swolf712 Or, if you buy a phone that actually did it well, it will black out the sides of the notch and act like a "normal" phone with fullscreen apps. Like the OnePlus 6/6T do.
@@swolf712 I hate phones with bezels. When I looked at smartphones, I chose one that wasn't too Locked down in cost, like apple products are known for. B, I chose something that wasn't smooth around the edges. I want a squarish edge. And three, A headphone jack since I didn't want to have ot buy new ones.
But ye, I do not mind the idea of removing it, but at least provide an alternative. USB-C? Sure... If you add an extra jack or provide the Dongle with the product.
And waterproofing claim just sounds silly. Headphone jacks aren't harder to water proof than USB-C connector. Merely size difference, is all.
Imagine watching a video about headphone Jack's disappearing while using headphones that use a headphone jack
The amount of flagships today that don't have the jack are so many that simply having it in one flagship device can quite literally make it stand out from the competition now.

@@ajg8600 😂😂how????
@@ajg8600 Not really more waterproofed than Apple's iPhone. The XS and XS Max have IP68 certification for 2 meters submerged for 30 minutes, while Samsung's S10 and Note 9 have for 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. Considering the way Apple is going (leaks saying that they're working on underwater functional screens, and others...), I wouldn't be surprised if they release a full waterproofed phone in the future (phones today aren't actually waterproofed, they're just water resistant).
3:14 That is just flat out incorrect. Wireless transmission of audio delivers objectively poorer sound quality and is more prone to interference than cables. And as for digital connectors, there is going to be a digital to analog conversion anyway, the only difference is that it happens inside the headphone rather than the phone. Not to mention that the best sounding headphones still use a jack for connection, so you're going to need a headphone jack if you want to maximize sound quality, even if a better connector could exist in theory.
Amen, brother!
I'd like to add that analog interference is not even a problem at such short cable lengths. In the professional audio world balanced audio connectors are used. but in those cases cable lengths greater than 5m are common.
They are trying real hard to make it work. Still sucks.
Yeah but the best sounding headphones you are talking about are studio headphones and thats different, you are not going to be going to the gym with studio hp worth thousands of $. Not to mention that those hp use different type of jack than your 15$ earpods so you wouldnt use them anyway.
And unless you are really fanatic into music using great headphones, the best sound formats and have excelent hearing you will hardly notice any significant difference going from cable to wireless. I have over 100$ headphones, listening to cheap downloads or from youtube etc like most people do and I hardly hear any real difference when I use them wireless or with jack.
@@cent3786 we like options, i can use my $5 earbuds for the gym or i can use my $500 headphones on a 15hour flight...
Fact of the matter is phones have de facto replaced dedicated music players, sure you can go out and buy a dap but who really wants be carrying around another device in their pocket?
you talk about a different jack for balanced headphones, maybe we should be moving in that direction instead of deleting the jack altogether...we should be moving towards better sound quality instead of away from it, we should be getting better amps and dac's in our phones instead it's going the other way....and any idiot can look at what the audio market is doing and see there is a demand for this sort of thing, all of these portable amp and dacs wouldn't exist if phone manufactures were going about things the right way.
you idiots are actually advocating for less advancement, deleting the jack is the lazy way out and what do we really gain? 1/2 mil of thickness? maybe 20mins of extra battery life? it really doesn't make any sense why the public is supporting removing the headphone jacks...

i prefer the headphone jack, because i don't need to worry about another device to be charged and another battery that stops working after a year of use. Also i prefer phones that have replaceable batteries over waterproof ones. Aaand really like to have IR on top of the phone to turn my tv on and off.
What exactly are people doing the Waterproofing Is THAT much of a necessity hell i often have snow in my pocket with my phone( middle coat pockets are great snow catchers when you got your hands in them). I had 2 phones max. The First one lasted me 4 years before one fateful day when it fell 1 foot and cracked despite it surviving for so long the edges of the phone is chipped, scratched and dented to hell and back. But the 1 foot drop ended it. Hell my screen was still flawless. No scratches at all.
My current phone is fine despite the same issue. I drop it occasionally so the sides are all scuffed up and chipped(i just never find the need to buy a case). but the screen again is still flawless(i just take that much care for it) the only problem with it is the Headphone jack has worn out.
Why would you take your phone near water anyways? If you are at the beach you should enjoy it, if you are at the pool you should enjoy it. I'd take more features that are better than some earphones that will probably fall out and get lost. Idk what apple was thinking.
Mate 10 from Huawei has nice features but I do not know about the screen Hz ... I would love the LG g2 3 rear buttons or the upgraded ones on the v10 ... high-quality camera and no notch and mah that is higher than 5000
@@eqeqeqe9547 you have some people say they live in (insert coastal city here) and that apparently is reason enough for waterproofing because they like to take picutres or videos near water. I'm like really your not jesus standing IN the water so unless you got butter fingers or are hanging far from where you should that's not a problem. But then you also got these people with pants SO tight that the phone can barely even fit In there pants and then on top of that carry it in the backpocket with like more then half the phone sticking out. Geez i wonder why you go through phones like candy.
Just a little attentiveness and forward thinking and your phone can survive Years. Bar any internal problems.
I miss IR sooo much on my Samsung
No headphone jack... No buy. It's simple. I'm with LG now, even if it's overpriced.
Hearing people explain why the original headphone jack is like hearing someone tell me my toaster can’t REALLY toast bread
Manufacturer: Were making it more water resistent.
Me: do u think i swim with my phone? Lol
Manufacturer: were just struggling for space.
Me: not that i feel like i need half the stuff they throw in the phone, but the note 9 managed it and it was the best phone of its year imo.
Manufacturer: wireless is the future.
Me: my wired headphones are really high quality and im yet to see any wireless pair that even gets close. Maybe in 20 years that might change.
Also i dont have to charge my headphones like the wireless pairs. Which in itself makes it a better option.
Why I went back to wires sick of waiting on charging
and Samsung: Here's a phone with every little stupid thing you asked for. It's thinner than the last one, is still water resistant and the headphone jack is going nowhere!
Thank god that there are companies still out there that actually listen to their customers.
I REFUSE to buy a phone without basic features! The fact they might cram in 50 mAh more of battery (at best) is completely irrelevant to me when the phone consumes more power with fucking bluetooth on anyways! Not to mention you have to deal with the tiny battery of the wireless atrocity itself and on constant basis. Fuck that :)
Manufacturer: Water resistance is for accidents, so if water comes in contact with your phone it is not a big deal.
Manufacturer: the headphone jack takes lots of space for a 3 pin connector, could be used so much better and not all devices are same, note9 is a phablet and it's large, not even is the same category
Manufacturer: Bluetooth sound quality is already good enough and smartphones aren't audiophile devices. They are generally used outside with a lot of background noise. Make it two years especially since we will force everyone to use the new technology, which means a lot of testing and that will speed up it's development.
Also your wired earbuds are already "charging" on your phones battery, this is why you have these annoying wires that tangle, break and catch into everything they can.
@Tong Zou Because the headphone jack is going away now, from all devices promptly
@Tong Zou No the reason is that there are better ways like usb-c and bluetooth
Wireless connections do not have the higher quality audio fidelity of a wired solution. its just crazy. I will never buy a phone that dose not have a headphone jack. my choice to vote with my pocket.
just get a Samsung and get a more honest customer service and repair. it makes for a better experience and has the bonus of being lighter on the pocket.
Wireless is high quality audio fidelity. Bluetooth sends data around the 2.4GHz, same as WiFi.
electronics.howstuffworks.com/bluetooth4.htm
Change my mind.
@@malachi3438 its simple. Air doesn't allow to transfer as much data as copper does, so the quality of wireless will never fully reach that of wired.
try this for a blind test ua-cam.com/video/ZLjPt0oI2ZA/v-deo.html
could you explain how wireless does or doesnt have higher quality than a wired signal coming out of a dac from a digital source?
Sony: We're back, with headphone jack
I am so furious that they removed the audio jack! what a shame
lets be honest. the ONLY reason companies are getting rid of this is so that YOU have to buy SPECIFIC headphones/earbuds to even use the feature.
which is a great way (for them) to make considerably more money while screwing us up.
This is EXACTLY the real reason. They cant block cheap chinese headphones because the headphone jack has no logic. Enter the ''digital' connector. In a few years you'll only be able to connect Apple approved headphones. After that only with the right DRM protection etc. Yay DRM!
ViperNL if we ever go down that route of digital rights compatible garbage I will stick with an older phone until the end....
Love your profile pic, Blake
yes, and next thing you know, the'll be pushing a bt speaker because they couldn't fit a speaker in the phone anymore 😒
@@jamesbrandon8582 or you could just buy a good Lg and download Linux if it gets that bad
"Courageous" or not, I won't be buying a smartphone without a headphone jack.
i dont understand why some people are willing to trade actual functionality for beta features which anyways end up being phased out
I listen to audiobooks daily, so headphone jacks are important. I use bluetooth headphones at home, but not while travelling on the bus or eating at restaurants. I made sure my new phone had a jack before I bought it.
The headphone jack is still important today and will always be. I will never buy a phone without it.
Same. I charge my phone and use the headphone to speak to my friends and family all the time. So if I have to use a dongles I can't charge my phone. Also with dongles there are digital and analog dongles and some phones only use digital and other use analog dongles. So if you buy the wrong dongles it won't work with it. Using bluetooth headsets means I have to charge it and if I forget then well I can't use it. Also when traveling all planes ban the use of bluetooth headphones when it is in the air and the you actually need to have a regular headphone jack to connect to their 3.5mm jack to listen to audio.
I only buy phones with headphone jack and there are tons of phones still keep the headphone on.
Dude.. wtf
It won't always be important. The markets will find replacement options for all your problems. However, until that happens, I'm sticking with phones that have a headphone jack.
@@michaelyun2407 Not true for all aircraft. Most flights I've been on advise you to use Airplane Mode to turn off mobile signal but you can still turn on Bluetooth and Wifi. They might discourage it during takeoff and landing though. I used to think charging without music was a problem but I can move around freely with a Bluetooth headphone while the phone charges. It's more cumbersome to have two wires leashed to your phone while you're charging and listening to music at the same time.
@Michael Yun - that's Apple's next big plan. They will start selling Apple Juicevault. It is an innovative, creative design of a totally new product. It will allow you to connect your iPhone, iEarpodswhatevs and iDongles to it in a unique and intuitive manner. The function of the device is to allow your Apple products to interact seamlessly and juice their batteries at the same time. Apple Juicevault. Don't delay, buy today :-D
I wonder what would happen if a startup came along and released a phone that was relatively thick (at least by today's standards), that incorporated all features consumers looked for. A headphone jack, the biggest battery that's available, dual cameras, wireless charging, expandable memory, no notch display that's 120hz, and most importantly, stock android (no dumb skin or bloatware). I mean call me crazy, but I'd happily buy a thicker phone if it meant I got more functionality out of it.
Edit : Of course extensive R&D would be necessary to create a good user experience. Weight and heat are definitely concerns, those are the issues that would need to be addressed, new technology and innovations are always in development so with lighter components and better heat transfer solutions, it could be possible. In all honesty I thought the newer Samsung phones were close to perfect, but the poor android skin and the fact that they can't help but push Bixby down people's throat was a major turn off. In terms of public perception and marketing, developing a good brand image is hard and takes time, however not impossible. Mother's not buying phones for their weight is a real thing, but that's where the free market comes in. This kind of phone would not be for everyone, and that's fine.
And a removable battery!
You aren't crazy. Even JerryRigEverything said he would buy a phone like that instead of a thin phone with less features.
+ the fact that it would be probably less bendable or fragile in general
rerelease moto G ?
I would rather go with a less feature packed phone with a fast soc, a big removable battery and a headphone jack of course for a mid-range price.
Nothing better than biking home , with another 45 minutes to go and hearing "low battery please charge"
That's why I use cables. Better sound quality too
I don't think aux is going to go away, but on some smartphones manufacturers may be too cheap for the 2$ it costs to implement
The fact that it's not in their tablets shows that the "space saving" argument is BS. Maybe waterproofing is an argument, but I'm sure 90% of people would rather have a phone with some sort of cover to waterproof the headphone jack than no headphone jack at all. And the Samsung Galaxy S5, one of the first phones to have waterproofing, needed a cover for the charging port, and not the headphone jack, showing that it was easier to waterproof the headphone jack than the charging port. I'm gonna stick with my theory that they're removed to push the company's wireless headphones which coincidentally happen to release when a company gets rid of a headphone jack.
One UA-camr even built an headphone jack into an iPhone. So yeeaaah
@@Styler_GTX link that if possible
You got that right. Waterproofing is as weak of an argument as space saving, these are just excuses to push out more expensive solutions. It is no coincidence but a planned out strategy to get people to spend more money.
@Mondrow Thought of that video too :D
@Mondrow thats the video I meant
A phone being thin and light is nice, but much lower on my list of priorities than things like resistance to bending, battery life, and what I consider to be basic features, like a headphone jack. Also, past a certain point I don't really notice how thick it is in my daily usage, I would be happy use something the size of the original iphone if it was more capable.
Phones are so fragile you need a case these days anyway, so an extra couple millimetres makes no difference
A phone should not disappear in you pocket. While nobody wants a huge brick, fact is, most phones were already "thin enough" and "light enough" 5-10 years ago. Making them thinner and lighter is actually making them worse.
My good Sir, have an upvote for a very sensible comment!
And I mean odds are if they are making phones this thin that operate well, why not make them the same size they have been and not so thin, just space for extra features that define the phone
funny i had this argument with a friend like 6 years back. i was thinking the same shit back then, i don't need a fucking paper thin phone that costs almost 2 grand. i want a durable phone that has all the features i use.
Headphone jack, SD card slot and type c port is absolute must for me.
The biggest issue with no headphone jack is the loss of real time audio. All Bluetooth wireless options are plagued with latency. Until this is resolved we still need a real headphone jack solution.
No jack, no phone. I use my headphone jack on an almost daily basis.
TLDR version; headphone cord got caught on chair, human galaxy a10 torpedo
While some people say “the headphone jack protects it from falls” the headphone jack can pop out. As a matter of fact I had a headphone jack phone that broke because of it; I was walking over to the fridge to get some food and my headphone jack got caught on a chair and I fell face first and my phone met a horrible fate
@@tiresoup1824 So you're idiocy and inability to be aware of your surroundings means we're wrong. Gotcha
@Jai Rey Who? Samsung? They're the ones who make iPhones so it only makes sense.
@Jai Rey they do supply display screens thp and tha thankfully i have the last Samsung phone with head phone jack which is s10+ :(((((
The reason is to sell more expensive wireless stuff.
Really it to kill us with wireless signals. You know 5g is going to be the death of us.
Dont forget other phone manufacturers following apples stupid lead. Its clear a lot of people still want the jack, I dont understand why more companies wouldnt capitalize on that and cash in.
Dongles have worse audio quality then bluetooth, companies are trying to dumb down the masses to what good audio is so they can sell expensive bluetooth headphones. and for the Sheep of these brands its working.
I think is to lower production cost.
Venom415 the stupid thing is that the dongle has much better audio quality than Bluetooth but some companies think their customers are stupid. At least it wont disappear on PCs, there isnt a reason of space. We need more place on the IO of the Motherboard isnt a reason, usually you don’t put "important“ things there(USB and other dongles are important but not as CPU socket).
The headphone jack was part of my childhood. I enjoyed using it with my earbuds and headsets.
I would just like to point out the fact that Bluetooth has about a 1/8 second delay so you can’t make music with them so wired headphones won’t be going extinct in the foreseeable future.
I'm a simple guy, I like my phones to remain notchless and to have a headphone jack.
Ditto
The iPhone do actually have a headphone jack. Instead of an AUX, you now connect it to the charging port
yeah, not having to charge headphones is nice.
I like medium sized bezels
@@Junta57 are you actually that ignorant and blind? We want to be able to actually CHARGE our devices while listening to music without some stupid dongle we have to carry around
Sorry, I like the privacy of listening to my own audio with my preferred headphones without having to buy overpriced garbage or yet another overpriced dongle.
@@person10 indeed you can, but key here is "preferred headphones," which may be a studio-quality set of headphones or even a stereo system with an auxiliary in port
@@nopushbutton Yeah, that's the other thing. I have these Klipsch 2.1 speakers with a 200-watt built-in amp that I don't use on my PC anymore. (Got smaller Logitechs, because limited desk space since I moved.) They're old, but they still sound amazing. So I set them up in a den, where I get together with family and friends. My phone makes a perfect music source, although I sometimes press my laptop into service for this. It's nice to be able to hook up the phone to all sorts of audio-reproduction equipment, not just earbuds.
@@nopushbutton
That's a big thing most people don't mention when regarding missing the analog jack. You get REAL quality and compatibility with larger stereo/sorround sound sets. Does everyone use that? Of course not. But again, it's just one more reason why there is no excuse for removing the jack. It has so much freaking compatibility.
The dongle comes with the phone.
@@vp721 Until it is broken or lost, yes.

Don't most if not all desktop computers have headphone jacks (or several ways to connect audio), Bluetooth/WiFi is reserved for top end models?
If there was any truth to their "water proof excuse", why do we still have charging ports, speaker grills, microphones, and side buttons?
" We don't have enough space ! "
2.5mm jack : *Am I a joke to you ?*
The Part with "they need more space for other features" is bullshit. I mean, the youtuber Strange Parts
even build his own Headphone Jack into his Iphone. So there is clearly enough space. It is just a money making machine for all these dongel and bluetooth stuff.
To be fair he did remove one thing. Not sure what feature it was for, i think it was more precise movement detecting or something to do with movements.
But he did it to an allready assembled phone. If it was designed with it in mind from the beginning, then maybe they could have gotten in it with that other chip he took out.
Josch Augustenborg Nielsen he removed the useless piece of black plastic that Apple put there to fill the space where the headphone jack was
Louis Rossman said that there is space for it too.
@Pixel Man It's clearly NOT an airplane. Airplanes HAVE headphone jacks...
maxitosupreme not all.
If your going to remove the head phone jack feature either replace it with something equal or better or don't mess with it at all.
Better than a headphone jack? What, are their phones gonna fry bacon now?
@@TiagoMorbusSa a 2nd Type C has the potential to be better in the future, if prices for Type C headphones are on a reasonable level
@@9SMTM6 It's not about a reasonable price. It's about cross compatibility. I use my headphones on different computers, on my phone, on my tablet, on other people's computers and workstation. Not to mention that I have enthusiast-level headphones that will last me a decade, easily. I'm not gonna buy new ones because of corporate grid. What I'll do is buy a crappier phone, and I have.
Another reason to continue with the headphone jack, Type C can be used for royalties or just for a brand.
@@9SMTM6 can't agree. The Type C connector is inherently more complex by design, it just can never be cheaper to produce and to implement on production machinery, let alone hobbysts. So you've added a cost factor there regardless of a DAC even being there, I'm still assuming analog out will be present (adding a DAC will be yet another cost again, which can never mach it's absence in the replaceable device's end). In case it has a DAC, add to that list power wasted on an extra power conversion stage, that would not be necessary if the DAC was inside the device that already needed those power rails inside.
Not to mention that while USB Type C can be reversed, the round connector can, well, rotate even while plugged to infinite steps.
Quality wise we could already use better external DACs (and thus USB headphones/amps) long before, so that's not an added advantage either. Not to mention that the DAC would have to be better than what the sending device has to begin with, not the case with the vast majority of USB headsets out there, that barely match a PC's on-board sound.
I never got the whole "consumer demand" for thinner phones or bezelless screens argument. Everyone insists it's something everyone is constantly clamoring for, but I've never met anyone who really cares about slight differences in thickness or the size of the bezels.

thank you apple for inspiring your competition to sink to your level.
1. Wireless headphones are expensive and take a bit to connect compared to just plug and play of the headphone jack.
2. Bluetooth headphones require to be charged and if they do not use the same connector as your other devices then that is another new charger you have to carry around.
3. Latency in mobile gaming which (for better or worse) is a big deal is a major issue. Also mid game disconnections, re-connections require exiting the game most of the time.
4. Dongles (included ones) do not allow charge and use at the same time, another big need for mobile phone gaming.
5. Wireless earphones create issues with WiFi sometimes when they are running over the same frequency.
6. Usb-C earphones are another cluster since one earphone might not work with another phone that also has the same USB-C standard. Cross compatibility sucks balls.
There is no point of removing something essential such as the headphone jack when you provide no alternative that is as good as or in most cases better than the current solution.
It is a dumb thing and will remain a dumb thing until there is a genuine replacement. That said I will have to live with it because Apple did it, and monkey see, monkey do.
Edit : I had two 3s, also I don't think the video is entirely bad. Some people prefer wireless even with all these downsides because it's cleaner aesthetically. These are just my thoughts on why this happened too early in the evolution of tech.
Exactly. Wireless is not an alternative! This video is utter bullshit.
This is a message to the manufacturesa tgat ditched the headphone jack"Why ditch the headphone jack and still and make and provide a dongle if you think the headphone jack is unnecessary?"
The cost of wireless headphones is going down quite fast. You can get cheap ones for 20-30$. Charging is annoying especially if your headphones still use microUSB but it's not a big deal for me. I agree about latency in mobile gaming, but that is probably more a problem with the OS or the specific device. My Windows 10 laptop has AptX on Bluetooth 5.0 and I get almost no lag in gaming compared to my Note 9 which has AptX and Bluetooth 5.0.
@@FrankyboyLegend Cheap Bluetooth earphones are generally not BT 5.0, nor Aptx certified. Whereas I can buy a $10 earphone and have non of these issues using the jack. Also cheaper ones have various issues with disconnections and whatnot. I've had multiple cheaper variants of BT earphones disconnect when my phone is in my pocket or just covered up by something big such as a pillow.

My issues with Wireless headphones is that they can sometimes result in a lag between audio and video. Admittedly this isn't a problem with more recent phones and devices, but when I tried to use it on one of my laptops (admittedly, from probably 2012) i couldn't STAND to watch any videos with a wireless headset because the words in my ears and the lips I was reading were like 20 seconds apart.
