Admittedly the headphone jack I hardly miss but it is just something which never needed to be removed. Phone companies are in the business to sell phones and if they don't have anything new each year people are going to complain
ReplyDeleteIf Face ID is a trend I do not want it. I do not use an iPhone but I do use a 12.9 inch. iPad Pro. I do not want face ID on the new iPads. I do not want my iPad to turn on when I look at it. I asked you do not want to have to put my face in front of my iPad to have a turn on. Apple is putting out a lot of bad ideas and trying to make their customers like it.
ReplyDeleteso he hates glass backs but likes wireless charging
ReplyDeleteYou are dumb.
ReplyDeleteRemoving headphone jack & notch are the dumbest ones for me. I hate this trend
ReplyDeleteAt first I was against headphone jack removal but now I don’t care . iPhone 8+ comes with lighting headphones and dongle for older headphones. I just use the Apple brand headphones which are nice and give me volume control and microphone so I can talk to people over the phone with . If I want to use older headphones I bring the dongle. I honestly don’t use the dongle and save it for accessories like mini speakers or square credit card reader . I honestly don’t care anymore.
ReplyDeleteI could kinda understand why Apple would remove the headphone jack.
ReplyDeleteBut most Android phone makers don't have a locked ecosystem like Apple's.
It's always nice to have options. That's why I love Samsung phones.
No headphone jack is dumbest trend by shitty apple and some other stupid followers
ReplyDeleteI am not paying a shit ton of money for wireless headphones. No thank you, I'd like to keep my headphone Jacks please
ReplyDeleteRemoving headphone jack is stupidest idea ever, I’m glad my phone still have it
ReplyDeleteGreat thinking like me.. Who else?
ReplyDeleteHi, Mr. Phenomenal one
ReplyDeleteOne dumb trend I would like to highlight....rolling out new models every three months with some useless features and fooling and making people irritated...I'm still happy with my nexus 5
ReplyDeleteLove my LG with head phone jack and removable battery.
ReplyDeleteHate notch, hate not having 3.5mm jack, prefer Google assist, hate the dedicated button for assistants just taking up space
ReplyDeletepeople still cry about the headphone jack, but honestly I stopped after buying a phone without it...Unless you are really into music, and by this I mean that you have like 20 different high quality headphones,headsets, earbuds and so on, on which you spent alot of money on or you are a professional musician and you use your phone to I donno, compile music on and stuff (which is probably not the case),you have no reason to complain. I got USBc earbuds with my new phone, the sound is better, deeper than the 3.5mm equivalent. One can go a step further and buy high quality USBc headphones and I promise you the sound would be better...The only downside is charging and listening to music...but heck, you can go the way of the wireless future and invest in a decent pair of BT headphones. The sound may be flatter, but it's not bad by any means...Crying about the 3.5mm jack is like crying about any other port that isn't used anymore. Try it and see for yourself.
ReplyDeleteI don’t agree with the headphone jack. Wireless is so much better I can move around freely without worrying about someone or something getting caught on the wires & pulling my earphone out
ReplyDeleteThank God for Type C, a data plus charger cable with actual speed for both and reversible, sign me up and so far the most durable cable I own, USB type A and B always break immediately but it's been a year now and I still have my stock cable from the start, now I have two cause the phone broke first 😂😂
ReplyDeleteFrom the top of my head:
ReplyDelete1. The notch thing
2. No headphone jack
3. No removable battery
4. No expandable storage
5. Prioritizing form factor over battery life
6. Combining the SD-card slot and the second SIM slot
7. Needing to use a needle/pin thing to remove the SIM card
8. Installing proprietary bloatware Android flavor instead of going vanilla
9. Making unlocking the bootloader a pain in the ass
The lengths you went to not to say that those "dumbest trends" are all pretty much Apple ones. I use 1 year-old Samsung that suffers from NONE of those "trends".
ReplyDeleteGorilla Glass 72
ReplyDeleteYou missed 18:9 aspect ratios.
ReplyDeleteHeadphone jacks are pointless, just like this list!
ReplyDelete#1: Not removable battery. Why does everyone forget about this?
ReplyDeleteBefore I watched the video i assumed that the notch would be definitely in this list..😂🤣😂 ...Let's strike against these fu..ing notches.....
ReplyDeleteAj styles
ReplyDeleteApple copied from essential phone ph1 and HTC.....
ReplyDeleteAlso removing the IR BLASTER.. thats why i have NOTE 4... wireless charging, removable battery, sd card slot, ir blaster, headphone jack.. need I say more????
ReplyDeleteReplacing a 100 year old technology with a better alternative is called embracing the future.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you, but wireless charger is nice and I love it.
ReplyDeleteWireless charging, the most overrated feature of them all!!
ReplyDeleteNever buy windows phone's . Or you will regret like me
ReplyDeleteI think they remove the headphones jack is bcoz a lot of people dying when they listen music while sleeping at same time they charge their phones so electric shock killing thousand people in a years..
ReplyDeleteI wonder why apple keeps siri......it sucks and is way behind everyone else. Developing an adequate assistant must take more than money.....apple proves this.
ReplyDeleteBlame the retards at Apple for almost all new dumb trends
ReplyDeleteIf I had the means i’d make a phone company that makes cell phones that are indestructible and practical all in a $50 price tag. On top of that i’d make the battery compartment openable like that of earlier Samsung phones and the battery last one week on one charge. So in other words making a phone that doesn’t have planned obsolescence attached to it.
ReplyDeleteBut hey it’s just a dream.
This guy looks like he's in his late 20's or earlie 30's why does he still have braces I've never seen a grown man who still has braces
ReplyDeleteiPhones are like the special needs kids
ReplyDeleteI agree hate glass backs
ReplyDeleteThis guy sucks! Dumb trends but you buy it anyway.
ReplyDeleteA notch
