Dale Cooper, 14 Oct 2017So you think apple started that madness. Yes, it is stupid ... moreSure there were phones without headphone socket before. My C3350 doesn't have one too. But what made it "hip, trendy and popular" was Apple.
If you compare how many models haven't had it before iP7 and now, it's clear they influenced some of the market to take on this really dumb move.

    Avovymous, 14 Oct 2017name a Chipset-CPU-GPU combo that is better than Bionic and... moreYeah... But the battery is a joke, what the point is a powerful phone if it need to meet the charger soo often, especially when using for game, it's a mobile game not a pc game so any high end hardware can handle it, so oneplus is a better deal

        wqcr, 14 Oct 2017I agree, but parts of the market want to copy Apple too. Lo... moreSo you think apple started that madness. Yes, it is stupid to remove headphone jack but apple didn't do it first. Android Phones maker was doing it for years. For Example: Oppo Finder (July 2012), Oppo R5 (Oct 2014), Oppo R5s ( Aug 2015). In April 2016 LeEco Le 2 series and in June 2016 Moto Z Force didn't have a headphone jack too. There was more phone that didn't have 3.5 mm Jack way before Apple did it. But I don't appreciate this kind of dumb move.

          Ha ha picture of guy holding two iphones..as if. Nobody even wants one. Thats why every Samsung story on here has a negative sniping slant to it, plus they sneak in a mention and link to an , ever positive iphone story, check it out and see. The iphone is now an outdated dinosaur, and the x , has an already outdated screen, and maaasive privacy invasion issues, naa its gby apple from us.

            Won't hurt apple, nobody in China wants their phones anyway. Just shows how sneaky they have been again, ebook price rigging fraud, tax evasion by the billions, and now this.

                Pretty much every tech company is against them:

                  AnonD-684631, 14 Oct 2017Apple is not even no3 in China hahaWhat are you talking?

                  I'm talking political influence of Foxconn with the Chinese government.
                  Apple is Foxconn's best customer. If the ban is allowed then this will affect Foxconn's profit ...
                  Therefore, Qualcomm will not win a ban.

                        Qualcomm will not win. Foxconn[a.k.a China government] will not let this happen to their best customer. Plus, Qualcomm is a nasty company when it comes to FRAND patents.

                                    Conclusion: 90% of the commenters are short-sighted fandroids.

                                      2. if some of them got into qualcomm, they would get worse salaries because it is well-known that Apple pays very much because they are always under pressure from the one-sided press (which doesn't give a f*ck about working conditions in other phone factories)
