        Anonymous, 12 Jan 2024Wrong channel, buddy. Also, 3.5mm jack never dies.I don't know what the 3.5mm jack has to do with this article, but I totally second your statement that it never dies. You don't have to go far to see Sony put it back after two years of removing it from their flagship phones. They could've continued doing the same thing to this day. But alas, common sense still wins the day. After all, real smart people don't do corporate shilling.

          The more important question is whether the seller is making a profit or breaking even. There are cases and reports where sellers on TikTok Shop frequently suffer losses due to them being forced to sell their items at low prices because of the stiff competition within the platform.

          Also, five to six hours of average time on smartphones? That is a worrying amount of time. I can't even get half of it despite playing a lot of console emulation on smartphones and being active on social media.

                  Ottonis, 11 Jan 20246 hours of daily smartphone screen time is quite a number. ... more6 hour is way little in mobile era.
                  Just think we keep our mobiles with ourselves, so close than our living partener all the time almost.

                  During tv era screen time exceeded 2 hour plus easily.
                  Thus mobile era increased the screen time more than tv era.

                  If vr era becomes another succes 12 hour screen time might happen too.
                  Not unexpected scenarios all these eras are, lol.
