So what is this amazing technology that is going to replace the 3.5mm jack? Because as somebody who has used Bluetooth headsets for about a decade now that certainly isn't it. There is a simplicity to just plugging in your headphones directly into your phone and not having to deal with pairing or the headset not playing your music because it's only connected via phone audio for some reason so you have to either turn the headset off or you have to turn Bluetooth off on your phone. Most likely you will have to do both multiple times before it connects properly. Most customers don't have the patience to deal with that ****. It's as simple as that. Now if the headphone jack was being replaced by some other type of functionality (like maybe a second USB C port, that would honestly be more useful than a built in 3.5mm jack AND take up less space.) I wouldn't mind it so much but that's not what's happening. --- Quote from: Adrock on October 31, 2018, 07:58:01 PM --- --- Quote from: pokepal148 on October 31, 2018, 07:22:42 PM ---Considering how much **** BlackBerry was able to cram into the Priv I just can't buy the "There isn't enough space" argument. --- End quote --- 2 mm of depth over the height and width of the Priv is a lot of area you're downplaying. --- End quote --- No, it really isn't. 2 mm converts to 0.0787402 inches. That's nothing. I will never understand the obsession that phone manufacturers have with thinness. What matters is how comfortable the phone is to use and what kind of functionality is contained within, not that next years Galaxy S11 is thin enough to give somebody a paperclip. Edit: The thing is, and I'll get into this more sometime, is that nobody seems to be making the phone I want anymore, and to be honest that includes the BlackBerry/TCL partnership thing that's going on now. |

I use it every time I go to the gym. I turn on bluetooth, my iPhone remembers the headphones, and I hold a button to pair it. That takes five seconds. The only downside for me is remembering I have to keep it charged which is why I previously said I didn't love the idea of giving up the headphone jack. Like all things, there are pros and cons. I'm not really interested in arguing personal experience. If you don't like bluetooth, I'm not going to try to change your mind. --- Quote ---No, it really isn't. 2 mm converts to 0.0787402 inches. That's nothing. --- End quote --- You just converted millimeters to inches. I'm referring to volume (L x W x H). That's a lot of room to work with considering how small everything has to be to fit into devices this small. |

So fair warning to anyone who got the new iPad Pro: Apparently Apple beat Samsung to the punch and created the first Tablet with a foldable screen. I can only hope that the comments on that video become half as entertaining as the time he snapped a Nexus 6P in half and than did it again to piss off the Google fanboys. |

Vicious and cruel video. And it's just your bluetooth headset that sucks Pokepal. Wireless audio is fine and has been fine for years and doesn't involve tanged cords. Airpods are like magic. they always pair to my iMac, MBA and iPhone and they always seem to know which one I'm listening to. |
