Just having one would be great. Thank you Apple (but why did so many Androids copy the removal?).
I believe it was for waterproofing. One less port means less sealing, making it easier to improve the waterproofing of the phone.
Water ingress isn’t the issue & there’s been waterproofed ports for decades. They wanted to make devices thinner—but what value is it when its too thin to support a jack & made of materials that now require a case?
That's probably just the marketing reason. The realistic reason is probably that they want to sell you their brand of wireless earbuds that need to be replaced in a few years tops
That conspiracy is one I believe too. Seems too odd that all OEMs dropped their jacks at the same time they started selling buds.
That's it, right there. Artificial exclusivity, that's what it always was anything else is an excuse to look or seem better or less scummy.
People are going to try to make up reasons, all of them are an excuse to cover up the real reason which is copying apple and forcing people into Bluetooth to sell more expensive tech junk to people. The original and really only reason.
Well it gives companies a bit more space to work with.
