Samsung oh Samsung stop this Apple obsession. Jet black in s7 edge and no 3.5mm socket in s8. Might as well change ur brand name to Pineapple.
You are a giant and class leading brand urself yet why this compulsion to do as them.

let's just hope that other OEMs don't don't follow them, or at least OnePlus and Xiaomi

There is nothing wrong with new technology if it brings changes for good. But this 3.5 mm jack fiasco will bring more charging port problem and hence more money to company. No wonder Samsung and other companies are following Apple.

Omitting 3.5mm jack has nothing to do with new technology..
We can use Bluetooth headphones regardless of whether it has headphone jack or not. (and I actually do for years)
Pitting the jack does no hurm except tiny bit of space.

Would it shock more if next they announce the battery capacity/size will remain the same because they don't want it to explode like Note 7?

It is funny to see how various oems doing exactly what apple does although it is not something to improvement but just another hassle for consumers.

Anonymous, 07 Dec 2016Great, and make sure your laptop has a paralell printer por... moreIt's not about wanting newer tech. 3.5 jack does its job. It's more durable because the headphone input can rotate 360 degrees. And it doesn't need to be shared with other accessories.
Greedy companies just don't want to pay the licensing fees for it while still charging a premium.
