What’s the British pronunciation for ‘cringe’?

What’s the British pronunciation for ‘cringe’?

when in doubt, go with “bollocks”

Feels super late and not very relevant. I don't know anyone who uses wired headphones on a smart phone.

I do when the headphones battery is empty. ( but that tends to only happen during very long flights, and me forgetting to charge it beforehand).

lol... if you look closer you'll see I'm currently on a 2014 MBP

It's funny how both of you have old Macintosh icons.

Glorious!
Genius!
Glorious genius! if you will...

Hello there internet explorer!

That would be cool if I had a speaker I could plug into… but really. Did they put the team that runs their messaging apps in charge of this?

They have a lame sense of humor and taste there. They thought it was so cute to name their OSs after desserts in ascending alphabetical order, then one day they finally realized it's confusing to users. And, like you said, that whole disaster with chat apps.

I do tons of times when trying to connect old devices to my iphone in parties, at friend’s houses etc

Nothing beats the wire.

Not for charging either connectivity.

I just came here for the outrage from the flock, wasn't disappointed. 10/10 would watch again.

 

[Larsvonhier]

I find it just lame. Almost pure absence of good taste (as Steve attributed it to Microsoft in the 90s).
Lame, if you will.

Do people still use wired headphones for their phones? If there is a market, then good for them.

“Look at our now antique technology on our now 4 year old design!”

Very lame seeing as the pixel 6 won’t have one

If you are into listening the lossles music then you don't have a choice.

Treason! 😂

Only millions of people....🙄

They do. Some of them have to buy a dongle or an adapter, depending on if they want to listen to music while charging or not, to pull off such a feat, though.

This is years too late, but Jony Ive still really needs the piss taken out of him, so I'll forgive the timing.

 

[PhillyGuy72]

Well played Pixel. I personally find this hysterical! 😂

Not so many, only the millions who want top quality audio or work in the audio industry (studios, mastering, etc.) or do it as a hobby (YouTube, Twitch). 😉

I laughed 🙂 Particularly when he said "Yes: It's a headphone jack"

 

[agejon]

Google must first do a crash course on design and then criticize Jony!

Indeed, they do. I've never seen/found a pair of reference headphones with BT support. They probably exist, I suppose, but I haven't seen them.

EDIT: Admittedly, I rarely use headphones with my phone.... and I'm not going to buy another pair just for the stupid phone.

Don't know about phones, but my MacBook Pro has one. I use it, ever tried syncing video cuts to music on bluetooth while video editing? Everything is fine until you export, then everything is off. Maybe pro's have a way, but doing it by listening on bluetooth is a no go.
