I just want one with a removable battery and a headphone jack...
Wait until 2027 and buy a Sony then, I guess. They're the only manufacturer who consistently includes a headphone jack and starting in 2027 all phones sold in the EU have to have removable batteries. Yeah, it's pretty sad that that's the only option...
Guess I'll be moving to the EU in a few years ;-;
You don't need to; the Brussels effect has you covered.
It's cheaper to sell phones with replaceable batteries worldwide than to design the same phone twice for different markets. So most major manufacturers will probably just sell EU-friendly phones everywhere just like when the EU required USB charging ports.
Apple literally a victim of it's own success.
Yeah, it's pretty great here lol
Way to be overly dramatic. Ever hear of shipping? But enjoy being over taxed and privacy being more invaded than what the US does.
Like the old days, man
Me too, Fan, me too.
I don't mind not having a removable battery, and a headphone jack is nice but not make or break... but so few phones apparently have expandable storage these days.
While I like having the options and agree it's pretty shitty to remove those features, how do you use up all your storage? I upgraded to 256GB and am no where near filling it.
I've seen people argue they need to store a ton of media, but I'd argue you don't need to keep a backup of everything in your phone. Rotate media out after you watched it or whatever.
I've nearly 40 gigabytes of FLACs as well as commissioned art (much smaller in size than my music collection) stored on a 256 gigglebyte card in my phone. While the 128 gigs built into my phone is more than enough, when it's time to get a new phone all I gotta do is slap it into the new phone and boom, gucci. That convenience, on top of only needing to remove the card to add stuff to it, is why an SD card slot is non negotiable for me.
So you're telling me if a perfect phone existed but did not have removable storage, you wouldn't get it?
You can just transfer those things. This doesn't make any sense to me, I'm sorry.
I would rather have any of the features that are part of the non-removeable storage, which I'm guessing is related to better water/dust resistance and a larger battery or other internals which I would use every day.
In fairness I'm not too picky outside of an SD card slot and 3.5mm jack. I ain't a power user, so as long as I can chat with my buddies, reply to emails, enjoy my media, and it does all that just fast enough, I'll take anything with an SD card slot and headphone jack. I'm not the average user lol
...and a qwerty keyboard.
At the last EU is fighting to make your first wish happen.
RIP headphone jacks.
I don't understand why we can't have a phone a usb C port on top and bottom for audio + charging
