My parents bought me a new phone (to replace my aging brick) as a celebration gift for graduating as computer engineer.
But the damn thing does not have neither a MicroSD slot or headphone jack.
WHY DO YOU MOCK ME OH LORD???
It's the future, and phones have minimal holes. Wired USB-C headphones do exist, but the solution to storage space has largely trended towards "well have you considered the ☁️ cloud ☁️ ?"
Frankly I'm just glad USB still exists at all on phones. I suspect eventually that, too, will begin to disappear in favor of "haha well we have wireless charging.... What, connect your phone to a computer? Attach a peripheral? Why would you ever want any of that??"
"Fingerprint recognized. Phone screen will unlock in 5 minutes. [View ad to unlock it now]"
It's getting increasingly difficult to find those features on new phones.
You can get an adapter that plugs into your charge port and offers a headphone port
That sounds really cool!
But i'm old fashioned, so i'd rather have the convenience of a direct port.
But thanks anyway :)
It's unfortunately the future of cell phones. I've begun carrying around a Hidizs media player, to listen to my tunes on.
