    You know why there aren’t more users complaining about this? Because they flat out did not buy the device for that reason (e.g. me). Removing the jack is also extremely hyprocritical coming from a “sustainable” company.

      And if it did have it you wouldn’t have bought it either because the company is hypocritical. So why do you care? Why should they care?

      The point is, the people who did buy it didn’t care, and the people who care don’t buy. It’s a conundrum. Pair it with performance data of other phones that do have a headphone jack, plus the engineering compromises over other very important features. Then the decision makes sense. You lot aren’t buying phones with headphone jacks either, so it isn’t economically worth it. It’s not like the motor g or the Asus rog phone are breaking sales records just on the headphone jack.

      It’s the same story as with small phones. People who aren’t buying phones like to complain about phone size. But then when a small phone is made, no one buys it. Then the people who didn’t buy the phone complain again, because the phone wasn’t perfect for them.

      It happens all the time, people are usually very vocal about things that actually don’t drive their decision making.

        Why should they care?

        Because they should want to capture more customers? Is that really your question?

        The point is, the people who did buy it didn’t care

        Yeah and how many were those?
