minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink13•1 year agoI doubt you’ll find anyone here that disagrees with you. I was going to get an older pixel but I got a 6 instead and I’m still grieving the loss of my headphone jack.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•1 year agoAt least we can get USB-C headphones and use the charging port as a headphone jack.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink6•edit-21 year agoMy take: cables are a sustainable, effective and ELEGANT solution. Most wireless solutions fall under the definition of over-engineering. Cable: a properly lengthened cheap rope that magically transfers information, power and anchor stuff together. Wireless: two antenna, encoding of all kind, radiations, BATTERIES, higher chance to lose stuff, degrading of quality (Bluetooth).

Wireless charging?

Inefficient, over priced, less reliable
