Why are they making it a useless device??
Because we still fucking buy them
My phone is a 2021 model and still has a 3.5mm jack and a memory card slot.
I love that my pixel 4a has a headphone jack. I'm overdue for an upgrade but I know I'm going to lose my fingerprint sensor and jack. Yeah it's a security risk but this phone still works and performs well. I hate stupid planned obsolescence. I wished tech was more about stability and long life. But I guess that doesn't make enough billions in revenue.
Those have any long lasting issues? My old 5a had the motherboard go. Trying to find a suitable replacement. Going back a generation wouldn't be terrible if it's reliable.
No idea. I got this used about 3 years ago. Never had to search for solutions to problems so I don't know if they have any common issues.
Given the issues with some of the newer pixels I wished Google would've left well enough alone with the fingerprint sensor :)
I'm finding plenty use in my phone without those things.
I still keep my old phone on my desk and put it in my bag because is has weeklong battery when i dont use it and it has an ir blaster.
i haven’t used wired headphones since a few years before jacks went away, and i have never missed that effing cable
IR blasters are fine, so few TVs even use them now. Storage, eh, 512 is default these days and I'm only using 25% of that (assuming you meant storage and not memory).
Headphone jacks and replaceable batteries are huge though. I'm still pissed about that.
