It might sound like you’re screaming into the void. But I wanted you to know that Im completely on your side. I’m not buying a phone without an industry standard, analogue headphone connector
Was planning to get another Sony now but they stopped selling their phones in my country…
With Asus taking a pause and all other options being random Chinese brands or budget phones there wasn’t really a choice left…
The brilliance market justification of “see, people are buying [literally the only thing offered because options were removed], they like it [complaining loudly]”
Unfortunately, the main line Pixels haven’t had an audio port since the very first pixel in 2016. The affordable (-a) series held out until 2021 with the 5a being the last model with a port.
If anything, I’d be curious if the rising cost of storage makes Google (or other flagships) cave on expandable storage with the next model.
Quite the opposite. The reason they got rid of it in the first place was to push people into paying monthly for cloud storage. Rising hardware prices just makes that easier.
No 3,5 mm port >:(
Nobody expected them to suddenly put it back in.
Yeah. I’m just making noise whereever possible.

I’m also still salty about it. Paying more for fewer features.

Fair.

Nah. Whoever wants more than base can pay up. Having stuff worth storing is a premium service.
