Weekly poll results: port-less phones may be an unfortunate future, according to most

25 June 2023
Few are enthusiastic about this possible future, but hopes that the EU will prevent it may be barking up the wrong tree.

          And for the screen - it can be replaced with something else? It can't, right? While both jack and SD can be replaced by more advanced technology. Once screen would be replaced with holographic view, I would certainly switch.
          Too bad you had no serious arguments and only proved that you don't understand technology at all.

Both my Xiaomi and Apple phones lasted that long although the iPhone showed signs of reduced battery life as early as 2 years but it lasted for 7 years which was long enough for me to buy a new phone while my Xiaomi still has good enough battery life even after 5 years although it has shown signs of reduced battery life in the 7th year.

This is a site v... moreIt's factually not easy for those buyers to just move out of an ecosystem like Apple's or Samsung's. Sony Xperia 1 V is more expensive anyway, completely defeating the purpose of the SD card and Micro SD card slot. That's the point. Make it so expensive that it completely defeats the purpose, and might as well just get an iPhone or Galaxy. Next up, they're going to remove the camera and make a dedicated one that you can buy separately, and everyone will be "happy" about it.

                        Kangal, 25 Jun 2023Because what is "better" is NOT what always or us... moreDidn't read all the BS you write, since it does not make sense at all.
                        Just one example why you are wrong - people had a chance to change the direction when Samsung started removing jack or card. If they decided not to buy, Samsung would have to change its policy. They bought. So these features were not important at all. And remained unimportant. Just as unimportant as super fast charging.

                            Anonymous, 25 Jun 2023Another one falling for the newer = better meme. In this case newer is better. Faster, more advanced, with a lot of space for further development. Your ancient tech is on its limit.

                              Are you really funny? Are you still debating whether wired earbuds or wireless earbuds is better? Come on man. Both can be great. Wireless can be better and wired can be better. It depends. And I'm not from a cave. I have both types. For phones use wireless to avoid messy cables. For laptops use wired you don't walk with laptop anyway.

                                        what really makes you think wired is bad except saying they're wired (need real explanation on why wired is bad)

                                        "we like laughing at techies who can't adjust to new tech"
                                        Who told you that they can't adjust to new tech? They are just asking for wired earphone and sd slot as an extra option.
                                        And if you think new tech is always better you are disillusioned.
                                        If wireless was better then whole world would've accepted Nicola Tesla's wireless tower concept but that is not truth. I agree Wireless is new tech but you cannot say it is better than wired.
