How do you cope?

>>106506726 (OP)
I got a pair of wireless headphones on sale.

>>106506726 (OP)
Never buy a new phone.

>>106506726 (OP)
by getting a phone with jack. it ain't rocket science.

>>106506726 (OP)
My chinkphone has it, vote with your wallet.

>>106506726 (OP)
no jack, no buy. simple as. If I won't be able to find a smartphone with audio jack, I will get a dumb phone.

>>106506726 (OP)
not my problem

For a second I thought that chip had the Twitter/X logo and I was wondering why a social media app needs a dedicated hardware processor for it.

>>106506726 (OP)
No more 'jacks

How do you cope?

>>106506726 (OP)
I only buy phones that still have it.
Currently on a xperia 1 vi.

>>106506806
no protruding camera shit at the back?
based chinks. wish there was a budget android though.

>>106506726 (OP)
Some phones still have them. And you shouldn’t use one anyway unless your phone has 32 bit @ 384 Hz support.

>>106506726 (OP)
I 'coped' by getting some cheap QCYs from ali.

>>106506726 (OP)
I don't cope. I've been using a USB dac lately because even in phones that still have jacks, if the hardware isn't shit, the software eventually turns it to shit after enough updates.
These dacs have made me understand the inevitability this all actually was. Even if Apple didn't do their forced obsolescence the way they did, these dacs coming out on their own would have done it all the same. And that saddens me really...
It just sucks now that you either have to deal with a USB dac on a cheap device without a headphone jack, deal with the shitty crackling audio from an actual headphone jack on a cheap phone, or shell out money for one of them DAPs that has the decent enough hardware in it but will cost you a pretty penny.
Really is just shitty choices these days...

Samsung poorfag phones are selling like hotcakes

>>106506726 (OP)
No jack (and no micro sd) = no buy, simple. A few brands still offer jack (and micro sd), support them by buying their products instead of muh Apple/Samsung/Xiaomi.

>>106506824
I don't know for social media apps, but web-browsers however are becoming so heavy they may soon need an additional processor just for them indeed.

>>106506726 (OP)
Adapters are $10

>>106506806
I thought the red thing with blue lights around was a dedicated camera trigger button and found it freaking based, but no, it says "cooling system" under.

First, that is horribly expensive, these used to be 20 cents on aliexpress before the great fuckery...
Second, it's annoying to not be able to use the jack and charge the phone at same time (unless you have wireless charging) or use an usb thumb at same time.

>>106508099
That's the price from a brick and mortar store. Of course it's going to be cheaper if you go the chinkshit route

>oh no I knowingly boughtered a phone without audio jack
>how can this be happening to me?
do morons really?

i always used a dac/amp combo portable or not i know my usecase

I use airpods with my iphone for daily use or if im traveling i use xm4s wirelessly

>>106506761
But my burner was like 60 bucks at wallmart...

>>106506744
>shitty audio because of Bluetooth
>have to spend mental effort in remembering to charge them
>can't use them if the battery runs out
>very finite life since the batteries will go to shit quickly and they aren't made to be repaired
What a faggot solution to a made up problem

>>106506726 (OP)
something like that. I should've gotten that right angle one, cool

>>106511598
AptX exists

>>106506726 (OP)
You buy (Pic related)

Any adapter without USB-C PD to charge while you simultaneously listen to music is not worth it.
>Muh wireless charging
Nice idea, but wired charging is still faster.

I'm sexually aroused by that image

>>106506726 (OP)
Works on my machine.

>No more jack!
>How do you cope?
I don't buy that stupid shit
I buy a phone with a headphone jack

its more of a decline in competency
engineers dont know how to install a 3.5mm jack and instead have to rely on third party accessories

Xperias are pieces of shit
