That's another of your 7 responses when you defend the crippled iPhone to
the death. Don't you think it's time, after all these years, for an 8th?

i'm not blaming anyone for anything.

i'm simply pointing out that the pixel 5a, which *you* mentioned, has
significant thermal problems.

you ignore that because you're an stupid apple-hating troll.

anything else gets a free pass, even if it's completely unusable.

the link i cited explained that it slowed down and stopped working in a

not due to bluetooth, because the signal path is entirely digital from

that means that the sound quality is entirely dependent on the quality

nope. it doesn't assume that.

only if it's a low bitrate.

256kbps aac is audibly indistinguishable from lossless, something which
has been repeatedly confirmed in objective double-blind tests, even
with people who claim to be audiophiles.

any difference might show up on an oscilloscope, but it's not anything
anyone can hear.

even better is to skip the adapter entirely.

high end headphones have a much better d/a than any adapter ever could
as well as what's internal to the phone.

even audiophiles can't tell the difference between properly encoded
mp3/aac and lossless, using the same content on the same equipment.

they might think they can, but in objective tests, they do no better
than chance. they're guessing.

iphone users have a choice of wired or wireless.

that's *always* been the case.

meanwhile, there are at least two android phones that do not have a usb
port, forcing wireless for everything. to be fair, neither sells in any
appreciable quantities.

as usual, you're criticizing the wrong products.

that's not possible, given that you failed to understand anything that

all you did was go off on a rant.

part of your rant was about things not listed, which means you didn't

your ranting is how you intentionally avoid any type of testing because

You always blame everyone you can for Apple's lack of a headphone jack.

Your sleazy deflection tactics are similar to Apple's sleazy tactics.
Blame _secret_ throttling (& backdated release notes) on battery chemistry.

At least the "courageous" Pixel 5a 5G _has_ a "cowardly" headphone jack!

You mean juicy Apple profits, right?

For example...
*How do you charge that crippled iPhone while listening to music?*

How do you charge that iPhone with the charger that came in the box when the
charger port is used to replace the lost functionality of the headphone jack
that Apple "courageously" removed so that you'd buy "stuff" to get it back?

Oh wait, you didn't even get a charger in the box?
Oh my.

And, Apple cheaped out on the batteries too?
Really?

Oh, I see.
Cheap batteries. No charger. No headphone port.

Wow.
I'm sorry for you.

All that choice Apple exercised to _remove_ functionality.
Apple sure has done a lot recently to further cripple the iPhone indeed.

But no way is Apple removing functionality one by one.
Just so that you'd have to buy it back.

Naaaah.
Apple wouldn't do such a thing.

They earn their profits the non-sleazy way.
Right?

Let's see...
a. No charger & no earbuds in the box
b. Puny and very cheap batteries
c. No headphone jack

Well then, how do you charge that crippled iPhone while listening to music?

when using wired headphones, put it on any standard qi pad.

when using the built in speakers or bluetooth headphones, use either
any standard usb power adapter or a standard qi pad.

battery life when playing audio is as much as 80 hours (iphone 12 pro
max), so it's not an actual real-world problem. nobody is going to
listen to music for anywhere close to that long.

most people use headphones when they are *out* and away from mains
power, so they can't listen and charge it at the same time even if they
wanted to.

tl;dr non-issue.
