Just don't buy smartphones without a headphone jack until it's more viable.

Lewd

This phone looks sexy af. What model is this? Some new """Nokia"""?

You see, thiefs and pickpocketeers, you're not dealing with our average clueless sucker anymore!
No, i realized the legend! the legend you cheer! I AM THE SUPER SUCKER!

>wired headphones

lol

>PZOZ (a chink brand anyway)
More like POZZ

Don't purchase from meme companies. The lack of jack was made fun of in like what, 3 big presentations now?

you know im glad those airpods were always out of stock and /csg/ memed the kz zs5 so hard or else i would of looked like that doochenozzle

confirmed: everything happens for reason: my faith in god

I hope you've seen the broly movie abridged.

Having those on your ears is basically screaming "look at me! i have an expensive iphone".

enjoy get then stolen by nigger fag

It's a very stupid movie, it's so cool but so stupid.

People choose themselves wether to buy a Phone with or without a headphone jack.

I simply won't spend money on phones without one

>hurr let's make phones without headphone jack to make them more compact and simple

>oh btw you will need this USB splitter clusterfuck :)

Well while you're here having this crisis, we're all out here losing our 3.5mm ports!

But it's so cool!

Whatever, bye user.

Having those on your ears is basically screaming "i dont give a fuck about sound quality"

>a2dp
>not apt x
>not ldac
>2017

plus just the general bass-less papery muffled sound of ALL those white headphones since the first ipod. How apple cannot into acoustics will always boggle me... yes boggle; there IS a reason. If phillips can make an awesome $10 headphone a decade ago why cant apple ?

That would require research and proprietary drivers.

I don't get how hey think this is more svelete or elegant. It's retarded really

they did exactly that with the earpods user and failed

they are obviously getting cucked by someone with a bundle of headphone accoustic patents doin the same thing they do with "rounded corners"

i think its phillips...

Either that or they're putting appearance over performance.

Crapple would never do that, surely

OF COURSE they wouldn't.
That would be like using marketing instead of quality to sell products, and that's completely ludicrous.

The amount of brainlets on this board amazes me.

Why do people still want headphone jacks? Because bluetooth sucks ass and theres no viable alternative thats why. The wireless headphone space blows. They've grown complacent and haven't been driven to innovate. Apple removing the headphone jack puts a fire up companies asses to innovate and fill the space. Inevitably other companies will copy Apple and the motivation will be higher.

...

Bluetooth headphones will *ALWAYS* be inferior no matter what, because they require extra components that wired headphone DO NOT NEED, thus making them more expensive and introduces more points of weakness.

...

>bass-less
That's bullshit they're really bass and mid driven. Muddled, even, by the imbalance

Absolutely disgusting.

...

it jus werkz

>current state of feedback trawling botposts
what the fuck?

Companies realize that phones have already hit their pinnacle and less people are buying new phones for what are minimal upgrades. So companies are trying stupid shit and hoping in vain that something catches.

Exactly my point. That's why we need another standard.

we do its called apt x and it does wireless 16bit lossless and sony has ldac which does wireless 24bit lossless

its just apple didnt invent it or want to pay to licence it with their billions of dollars so no standard for (You)

apple are real cunts with audio standards: see the great flac dis (alac)

The other thing I don't like is how companies are removing the headphone ports in favor of Bluetooth headphones. It either forces you to buy a Bluetooth headset or it forces you to buy a stupid adaptor wire to use regular headphones which looks like shit.

Give consumers the option of either or right out of the box. It's not like you'd can't have both Bluetooth capabilities and a headphone port.

Sup Forums doesn't use smartphones

Ok cool, how widely is that standard implemented on any devices, not just Apple? My guess is none.

apt x ?

Peter Nyilas on the XDA Developers forum lists the following devices as having confirmed support for apt-x on specific LineageOS or OOS versions:

OnePlus: 3T, 3, X, 2, One
Google: Pixel XL, Nexus 6P, Nexus 6,
Xiaomi: Mi5, Redmi Note 3, Mi4i, Redmi 2
Samsung: Galaxy Note Pro 12.2

>you guessed wrong mother fucker

So I can go to Best Buy right now, buy one of those devices and an apt-x capable pair of Headphones, come home and everything will work out of the box?

The worst part isn't that the iPhone lacks a headphone jack. The worst part is that normalfags didn't mind, and now others are ditching headphone jacks.
What fucking cancer.

if you got to the shop and buy a new android phone with an apt-x sticker on the box and some apt-x headphones then yes... you get pure cd quality 16 bit lossless wireless

i dont know specific models cause i have always been an iphone guy....who just happens to own an iphone 6s and kz-zs5 with a bluetooth aptx cable i cant use and cant believe how retarded apple is acting lately

U11

Is this real? I just can't tell anymore.

AirPods are compatible with any iphone running ios 10 or higher, including the 2012 iPhone 5 and they're also compatible with android desu

>AirPods are compatible with any iphone running ios 10 or higher

funny that - my iphone 6 is jailbroken on 9.1.2

apple just keep appleing

Fuck this shit!
I have been waiting for a new yotaphone for like 3 years and the yota3 have no audio jack!

>2 cables

Dont give samsung any ideas

>pzoz
>pozz

What's wrong with a standard 3.5mm jack? Stop trying to fix something that doesn't need fixing, dammit!

too thicc

muh thinner = better mentality.

no it's the current state of phones for faggots. Superior nippon phones made with thousand times folded metal don't have this problem.

At least cables comes out from same side, shit's is terrible if you have P2+USB connected from both ends.

Smartphones cause cancer and brain damage.

By removing features and act like it's a feature?

Yep

>samsung using any of apple's ideas

I came to post this.

Isn't iPhone 7 thicker than the 6s?
And they didn't even thin the Bezels...

>implying apple isn't waiting to see what other companies do and then steal it in a couple years since 2010

>let me charge my phone or transfer data and listen to music at the same time because reasons

seriously, whenever i'm home my phone stays on my desk, and it keeps plugged in charging while i sleep. i would listen to music on the way to college or while i have nothing to do there but i mostly don't use my headphones. whenever i need to transfer data to/from pc i use an app called "sharelink" that allows you to transfer stuff without cables. for me it's a good thing to have only one port for both data and headphone because it is one less component that might need repairs. the only problems seems to be that most headphones, at least here in brazil, are P2 plug because that used to be the standard, but as soon as phones with only usb c port and no P2 start to get popular we'll find usb c headphones in every corner.

>not only buying phones with headphone sockets
wew lad

>Let me force my ideals and standards onto everyone else because if it works for me it has to work for everyone
You fuck!

IKR, good chink brands don't have this problem either

>not only buying phones with nothing but a headphone socket

This isn't all that bad honestly.

Yall are just spergs.

My Samsung Galaxy S8 doesn't have this problem.

There's a "physical" button directly on the screen of the S8 that works with a sort of 3d touch system.
It's actually great.

>things I do
Listen to music on my phone while I'm out
>things weird people do
Listen to music on their phone while it's plugged in the wall

Neither will my Samsung® Galaxy™ Note™ 8™ when it gets here.

Honestly, I would be okay with losing the 3.5mm jack if they packaged the phone with a type C jack headphone instead of trying to shill bluetooth.

It's a shit meme until the things can give me 2 days of actual reality use.

>buy phone because thin
>most people put a clunky case over it anyways so it doesn't break on the first drop

There's a reason Oukitel phones are so durable.

Good luck doing this next year. I'm willing to bet that after this year, there will be no phones on the market that offer a headphone jack. Also, can we talk about how ridiculous the prices are getting for smartphones? The Note 8 is upwards of $900, the projected starting price for the new iPhone is $999, and the Essential Phone is $700. This is the real current state of smartphones.

It will never be viable, wireless headphones need to be charged so its just pushing the problem around.

I suppose Apple won't ever support opus audio files either.

>things I do
-Plug any set of headphones into my phone

>things faggots do
-Pay $160 for shitty ear buds that need to be charged
-Spend more money on adapters

apple is finished and bankrupt

>wireless headphones

lol

I don't think that will be the case. There will always be phones that have a 3.5mm port. The flagships from the main companies though? that's a maybe.

Prices are fucking ridiculous now. They're just seeing how far they can push it and retarded consumers are telling them $1000 for a phone is A-OK.

I would be interested in the Note 8 but I won't support that kind of shit. Redmi Note 4 it is.

I'm a degenerate and use airpods on muh windows pc. I legit forget they're in my ears sometime and imagine thats what schizophrenia or telepathic abilities must feel like.

5/10 audio (good enough)
20/10 comfiness/convenience

don't h8 on em until you try them, fucking love mine. nothing comes remotely close for comfort/convenience.

>ahAHaHAhaHA g-guise f-f-f-fuck consumerism right?
>*buys new smartphone*
>I j-just showed them, ha!
Retard. I've been using the same smartphone since 2008. No reason to get a new one other than being a good goy.

removing headphone jacks from smartphones is a fucking crime against mankind

Apophis should've crashed on Earth when it had the chance.

>telepathic abilities

As opposed to just plugging in earphones and not caring if they

> Prices are fucking ridiculous now. They're just seeing how far they can push it and retarded consumers are telling them $1000 for a phone is A-OK.
I just ordered an Xperia XZ Premium. $672 AUD on ebay using some discount code.

I had considered buying a Pixel XL at one point, the lack of a MicroSD card reader made me a bit apprehensive, but as soon as I saw the price there was no way I'd buy it. Phones that cost about half as much had similar specs.

>lg v20
>headphone jack plus quad DAC

Cell phones are pretty much jewellery for women and niggers at this point.

If they run out of battery

If only LG didn't make like ten different fucking variants with different band support, and only allow the variants that support like no bands to be bootloader unlocked.

thanks man
looked it up and both my phone and bluetooth dac support aptx
time to install the drivers and testing it out

Give it 2 years.

ZOONNALTDD RAAMMPHHH!!!!!

Fuck you

Is the Pro 7/Plus any good?

It's kinda expensive for a chinkphone.

We'll find out soon, every other review I've seen has been completely inadequate.
gsmarena.com/justin_meizu_pro_7_plus_handson-news-26867.php


Quick tldr from what I've seen so far though. Helio X30 has faster CPU than SD821, Slower GPU,
The second screen serves always on display or as a camera or music control.
Pretty good camera.
Average battery life.
Good audio quality.
Etc.

If you want a good Meizu that's not too expensive there's the Pro 6 plus which is using the Exynos 8890 instead of Snapdragon or Helio.
