So, they’re both wrong? (Samsung and Apple)<p>I like headphones<p>And enough edges to hold the thing without pressing on the screen. Having dead spots at the edges of the screen is not a solution.
Same mocking occurs every time Apple removes a soon-to-be-obsolete piece of hardware (serial/parallel ports, disk drives, CD drives, USB2/3 ports, etc). So far I think the only big mistake they've made is removing the Esc key.
Personally, I'm quite happy that the headphone jack is gone. It was the number one flaw is most of my phones. Either, the jack would get loose and start to crackle or I would get a spark of static electricity that would blow out headphones. AirPods have been amazing. No cords, no static electricity, and I can easily jump between all of my devices. If I really need a photo jack, I can use the dongle. Best part? If the dongle fries from static electricity, it's a $9 part.
Clickbait title. It's a budget phone, the A line, not the flagship S or Note line. They are probably testing out the feasibility of no headphone jack.
