On a recent post, there were a lot of comments, which said that they were missing the headphones on newer mobile devices.
How many actually use the headphone jack?
I ask, because I have one on my phone, since I really wanted one, but I rarely use it. Like Tops 1/Month.
I have a lightning-analog dongle on my phone headphones, that works fine. I have another analog headphones on my iPod classic for walks. The terrible catastrophe of taking out the headphone jack is nothing. There’s no situation where I’d be listening to my phone and want to charge it, if it’s on the charger I have a computer with speakers.
Really? A long day out, the phone almost empty and you want to listen the music? It happens to me quite often, that’s why I decided to buy a DAP.
iPhones have like 8-20 hours of charge now, depending on what I’m doing. My old iPod is <4 hours, maybe <2, but it’s enough for a walk. And if I’m out, where would I be charging it? I don’t usually carry a phone charger and wall wart. If I was out for days, I’d use my laptop to charge it, while listening ON THE LAPTOP, which has analog headphone jacks.
So, it’s a pointless conflict.
