    like the comments from android fans. Just like their phone manufacturer is making blind copy to iPhone and making ads to compare their latest flagship with 2-3 year old iphone - just to prove they are better sheep(they are real sheep as they just follow android - they are incompetent to make a basic os). and fans are pathetic - they use 8-10 gb ram to run their unoptimised full beta os (every android feels like beta , sorry) - and think ohh more ram better- but simple games lags (even with pathetic "game mode").
    android fans are like failed people who cannot achieve anything - so say some nonsense.
    I like the courage of apple as they are the trend setter - may be some features were available with some xyz companies (like xiaomi, samsung etc ) but no one cares.

      Tons of people just like to bash Apple with or without good reasons.
      They made first touch screen smartphone - we all use one today.
      They removed headphone jack - lots of Android manufacturers followed it and people aren't complaining nearly as much, despite Android phablets/tablets without headphone jack...
      Then the notch, tons of people enjoy their Android phones with notches and use Face ID on them aswell. And call iPhoneX ugly while having a notch + bottom bezel on their phone, some even have a button on it.

      Apple is not innocent, but they made lots of good things and set trends that people do follow. So it's kinda obvious that their products get bashed just for being Apple.
      And finally - you NEED Apple. Without Apple, Android wouldn't have reason to have such improvements year after year since it'd have no competition.

Mind you, the battery life hasn't come to a point where it lasts a year without charging. Please wait 50-100 years for this to happen.

            In conclusion, in your DREAMS.

                      Nonk, 04 Sep 2018hahahaha lol Its simple really, apple wants as much of your hard earned money as it can from you, it would like you to have to buy adaptors and extra devices for everything to play nice, give less and charge more! If it aint broke, break it and charge the earth to remedy it

                        Of course it's a thought out strategy. Like in every other big company they have big "strategy and PR" department.

                          want to know the reason why Apple decide to remove the headphone jack on their devices? It was explained by JerryRigEverything. Go search for that video.

                          It is Apple's marketing strategy to earn more. The reason is well explained there in the video. That is how business world works. They are maximizing the chance to earn more money. If you think Apple will lose customers, I don't think so. They have a huge fan base who doesn't read this type of article and doesn't care if 3.5mm headphone jack will be removed, they will still buy Apple products.

                            All phones should be bluetooth and wireless with anything.
                            Even a Q Charger or wireless charger should be finaly included in every box and every phone should support this.
                            No more fiukin cables.

                                So many bad decisions from Apple, that it is simply outrageous.

                                Huge curves on a tablet screen? Really?

                                Removal of the fingerprint scanner? You really expect us to raise the behemoth of an iPad towards our face, each time just to unlock it?

                                Killing the 3.5 mm headphone jack? What's your excuse now? Is it to free a quarter of a cm^3 space for additional battery. Oh wait, it's planned obsolescence to push more AirPods that need to be charged repeatedly, right?

                                    I do not see how this device carries the 'pro' moniker. You can do so much more on windows and even Android.
