Announcements like this just remind me that new phones have become phenomenally uninteresting.
It's cool. We still haven't brought back the headphone jack and we're too cheap to include a memory card slot. "Courage."
There are a few phones that still do a headphone jack and expandable storage but they definitely aren't the big flagship brands if that's what you are looking for.
Heck, Moondrop a predominantly audio gear manufacturer, just launched a phone specifically for audiophiles and it has a 3.5mm/4.4mm headphone jack combo. I don't think its quite as modern in the other aspects but hey, it has the unicorn features we don't see nearly as often!
FYI Sony phones have both audio jack and microSD slot throughout their whole range.
Respect to Sony for that. As one of the biggest sellers of Bluetooth audio equipment, they're one of the ones that would gain most from nobody being able to use 3.5mm
They’re too cheap to even include a SIM card slot
I've been Pixel/Nexus for forever but got over it when Pixel dropped it. Buy a dongle for your headphones.
I'm even over the lack of sd. If I really need it, I can plug it in with a dongle.
