I'm a millennial and I don't like simple things.
Also, I am not a single-mindedly working on a single task.

Geez, these Fanboys are trying to defend the name and still fail. Not to mention that the war is still not finish on both OS companies. Lol.

Go ahead. Android already defeated iOS in many cases by the way.

    Kiyasuriin, 29 Jul 2018Not really. I just hate limitations in my caseSo you should hate bezels. They are a giant limitation by making the device bigger and offering NOTHING (screens had palm rejection since iPad mini)

      You want two ports which do the work of just one because you are a fandroid. Normal people want simplicity in their life.

        Nope.
        I still love the convenience of the headphone jack because I just hate charging wireless earbuds and it's more practical than this usual too minimalistic move from Apple

        Call me a hater, but I love having more options than nothing.

Jobs believed things should be as simple as possible for the consumer, but not so much that it causes great inconvenience to them.

              Apple's recent decisions like removing regular ports like USB-A, HDMI and the headphone jack, forcing customers to use Dongles to get back their functionality are proof of Apple's bad ideas under Tim Cook.

                  He was a minimalist both in his life and his products. He would always always remove the 3.5mm had he had the choice. He hated that thing along with buttons of course. We only got iPhone X in 2017 because Jobs died in 2011.

                  Esle we would have had it by 2014 already, long before Sharp removed bezels.

                  Jobs hated useless stuff (bezels, holes in the chassis that you call a jack, buttons you can do without etc). He was a practical man. Android fanboys ain't...

                      Tom, 29 Jul 2018You have never used a Surface and you know itYou never used Dell XPS 13 and you know it.

                      I did use Surface's fake keyboard. I'd rather kill myself than use it again.

                      It's a toy. Thank god it sells abysmally. Every year worse than the last.

                          This is just too funny, on a phone removing 3.5mm jack is reasonable to reduce its size, but on a 10" TABLET??? Seriously..... The most stupid thing that apple have thought of, next is their MacBooks removing Analogue Ports....

                                Well at least apple haters had few minutes of laughter :D

Bluetooth isn't nowhere near as good as a wired connection.. only thing that comes remote within a range of wired is the LDAC codec.. which Apple don't support. The lighting port and usb C slot need dacs to convert anolog to digital and at current they still both dont match the 3.5mm jack.. due to a lack of investment if you ask me.. saying something is dead and gone.. when a better alternative isnt made.. makes you look stupid..
                                        The reason samsung and LG keep it is because they are waiting till something is better than the 3.5mm jack.
                                        Its very simple the 3.5mm jack yet very effective
                                        If you think airpods sound good you must have bad hearing.. terrible sound only decent connection quatily..
