You comments on this post is self explainatory that you know very little regarding audio technology, let alone decide why is the best.
Apple saw a billion dollar industry in the TWS segment, a had the guts to jump into it. But why the heck will a previous iPhone owner buy a TWS when he/she already have a wired headphone lying around? So it took Apple "COURAGE" in marketing terms to remove the audio jack from iPhone's and introduce the TWS. Excellent business move by Apple which is filling money in their coffers.

YUKI93, 02 Feb 2021"It was time for the headphone jack to give way."... moreOh yes, I can definitely vouch for that. Wireless audio may win for portability since there is no wire to worry about, but audio quality still goes to wired audio. Even when using the adapter dongle, it still doesn't sound as good as the jack itself.

Lol please, not a chance. Go and ask any audio enthusiasts, and they can easily tell that headphone jack is still relevant. Let me put it this way: if you really say that, why Sony bother to put the headphone jack back in 2020? They can continue on not putting it as they did with their 2018 and 2019 flagship Xperias. After all, Sony wireless headphones are super popular so that shouldn't really be a problem. Same thing with LG, they know that Quad DAC can't be used wirelessly or with an adapter dongle, so that is why LG is still keeping it.
New techs aren't necessarily better than the old. In fact, some new techs are even worse than so-called "outdated" tech.

We've seen that wireless audio is the better tech and the way forward, and Apple removing the 3.5mm jack drove the market towards this - just like when Apple removed the floppy drive, the DVD drive, and FireWire. All this tech had to go to make way for better things. You making this statement just shows your bias. It was time for the headphone jack to give way.

I remember last time Beat audio headphone is Very very popular.... but now already die popularity.... may be because it is taken over by Apple with little innovation.... Apple only focus only brand and no value added... Its phone is still going on because of IOS thanks to Steve Job...

2. if you want decent android tv experience you need atleast Amlogic s905, most popular tv box like Mi box s use this
mediatek powers lot of cheap android tv/box which offer horrible user experience, thats why people buy tv box and dont use built in smart features.
all big players Google with android chromecast, Xiaomi with both mi box s and Mi stick, Nokia media streamer etc use Amlogic, but those dirty cheap box like fire tv and no name chinese boxes use mediatek. you can differentiate yourself between cheap and quality.

they even admit it with Nokia 3 that it wont support android 7 until mediatek support it.
if mediatek provide source code developers would just fix it themselves.
