I hope Samsung keep the 3.5mm jack on their Devices to keep that feature existence relevant in the industry. If Samsung kill that as well, all other OEMs (most if not all) will follow it since both Samsung and Apple (The two industry leading and most influential OEM/Company) discontinued it and it would make that feature no longer relevant (maybe some may still keeps it but later, they would drop it as well). For now only few actually trying to follow Apple footstep but they couldn't do so absolutely because there are still other strong side (Samsung) that still keeps it. They just waiting for Samsung to kill it as well to make it officially irrelevant.

I was scared when other brands followed suit, as they follow the apple to remove the headphone jack, notch, etc.

That's cheap from apple. I personally prefer bluetooth earphones, but they could give users at least option to choose. Chinese cheap copies will sell good now on Ebay.

PeterThePanda, 13 Sep 2018More sales for dongles now. Not surprised they'll do this, ... moreYep. They will still get paid too. For every dongle sold that uses the lightning interface. Smart on their part and sad at the same time. Not sure what Apple is afraid of thinking they need to squeeze every penny out of everybody.
