17 August 2021
Google is happy to follow Apple and Samsung's lead.

    Shame on them!!! It’s all because of that despicable fruit-logo company.

    Protecting the environment my a*s.

      As much as I enjoy the Pixel line, if it's not a foldable, it feels outdated. Samsung is so ahead in that area. I may switch to flip phones for life and may never buy a slab ever again. I do think the Flip3 when unfolded is like those tall Xperia phones. I hope for shorter flip phones. Being narrow does help with the grip.

      Fold3 and Flip3 are making Apple and Google look outdated.

As external antennas died (yes, I remember times, when every phone had a port for external antenna), so dies the jack.
            There were times, when I also defended the jack, because BT was a terrible technology. High latency, low transmitting distance, low stability, low quality. Now I don't care about my phone not having jack, because now the wire is limitation.

                Mobilemaster, 18 Aug 2021A charger is not made to carry it with you during the day. ... moreAs long as I can see, most people buy new phone because their old one simply stopped working. So they can't sell it, and the charger... stays at home. So far I have some five or six chargers that remained from both older or new phones. I only bought one new charger, because I wanted two charging ports.
                No, people really don't need charger in every box.

                  all these phone manufacturers should come with option of having or not having charger in box, with corresponding discount
                  instead of blatantly keep the saving of not giving charger

                    Look, you can hate Apple all you want (and I don't like iPhones and probably never will) but this obsession with copying the worst of Apple from Android is infuriating. Why does Google think copying Apple will lead to sales? I've yet to see TikTok/Instagram/selfie-obsessed teenagers with Pixels because they 'seem like iPhones' or have Pixels at all. Google needs to understand that they will never get that audience.

                    Scamsung and now Google is not getting my money. With Google, as comments below me have said, at least they didn't first mock Apple before shamelessly copying them but still. This is what happens when there is zero competition in the US.

                      What manufacturers think of our old phone, that we put them in trash after buying new one?
                      Not sell them to others with charger?

                          This is a big no from me just for the fact that they are not providing charger. Where is the choice? They should give us choice that whether to include charger or not. Why are these companies assuming something. Let's say I don't have a pixel phone or my old charger is broken. What a pathetic excuse to save money.

Many of my friends and family members have both, wireless for walk/travel and wired for office calls/gaming/movies.

We do not always have fully charged earbuds to take us through the whole movie.
                                My brother used wireless earphones, but he almost daily asked for my wired earphone because his earphones are on charging.
                                Plus wireless are still more expensive for the same audio quality.

                                  Companies that are getting very low (mingy, degrading) from year to year

                                    If it's cheaper that way, I do not care. They can keep the cable as well, I have a ton of USB-C cables already.
                                    It's not like the phone has lighting that does not work with anything else.

A charger is the most essential thing for your phone, yet some companies trying to be smart and do not include them. Why? Because many people already have chargers? Really? A lot of people are selling their old phone with the charger included, so what are we talking about??
