Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
Phones don't have IR blasters anymore for the same reason they don't have aux ports or SD card slots anymore. For one, they remove these features to make room for other things that take up the real estate of a thin slice of technology. And for two, cutting those things increases the profit margin of the phones they sell, even if only slightly.
Cough Cough
I'm not saying I agree with it. I prefer a phone with an aux port, and apple pioneered taking it out. It is what it is
They also removed radio capabilities. Rip the days I would listen to live radio at 2 am while I washed dishes at chili's.
