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&#x2F;parallel ports, disk drives, CD drives, USB2&#x2F;3 ports, etc). So far I think the only big mistake they&#x27;ve made is removing the Esc key.

Personally, I&#x27;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&#x27;s a $9 part.

Clickbait title. It&#x27;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.

Is there a conclusive opinion on the negative effect that bluetooth signals have on our bodies or is it just conspiracy talk?

Imagine how much real estate they get after removing it, right?
