Nah, I saw a guy on the plane today stick his iPhone in his back pocket with the Lightning/headphone adapter plugged in and I cringed because it was just begging to get smashed. Moving the phone around with stuff plugged into it is exactly how the ports get all reamed out and stop working.
Got a tip for us?

These words have brought down many company’s. Never under estimate you customer. They are fickle
They improved battery life by throttling the phone.
But a larger forehead than chin, will be weird in landscape when the display is slightly off to one side.
I prefer the notch. It doesn't feel like a forehead.
Yeah, only 2 years. I don't think you understood me, but I was talking about the batteries, anyway, let's leave it here. Batteries aren't so expensive, so it's not so bad.
Watch a movie in landscape mode. Notch is rough landscape mode. In fact it doesn’t work in landscape mode. In portrait mode it’s unnoticeable
Logic of the unscientific mind. You surely judged things at “face” value.
I am going to get the Galaxy S9+ Because I trully can’t stand the “notch”
So incredibly stupid, iPhones sales suffer so badly from the lack of headphone jack. So sad. /s
What will you say when Samsung ditches the headphone jack in maybe one year or two?
Would be nice if they made all that bloatware optional. IE; when you setup the device, it just asks you what additional Samsung software you want. Choosing nothing keeps it at stock.....
Wish Google would implement something like this and enforce it.
I’m fed up with this. The fact that I’ve tried to explain this almost 10 time and you still don’t get proves how close minded you are. People have a difference in opinion and live in different scenarios and you don’t seem to get that for some reason. You wouldn’t go tell a gay guy he’s wrong for being gay or vice versa would you? No, because that being an *******. This is the same thing.

They're more expensive than what I've put out for my wired keyboards and mice.
I am well aware that Face ID is 3D based as my other post was made earlier in this thread. I am just saying that you can look at a LG Q6, G6, or V30 directly and it works instantly. FaceID is much more secure than those methods, but it also becomes an extra step. I still prefer TouchID to FaceID in its current generation.
Where in my comment did I say anything about the sales? I don't care about the sales. And it doesn't matter a whole lot. We're talking about a consumer base that will spend double for an iMac for which it's PC counterpart has the same internals. The sales won't drop, Apple consumers will spend whatever amount of money necessary to get the next Apple product.
I don't deny you your preference. Well, except when you say you prefer the notch versus not having a notch. Yeah, I deny you that because I don't believe you. If Apple were to release a notchless, "foreheadless" iPhone I'm sure we'd be hearing you singing their praises. Again, if the notch doesn't bother you I can understand that. But to say you prefer it? Not buying it.

That's the most funny and accurate analogy to this I've ever read! Thank you.
Confused, iPhone Lightening Cable is a wired option the last time I checked. Offers more and better sound options for users and headphone manufactures. Definitely moving forward, so what’s the issue if one wants a wired connection?
Just because people weren't asking for FaceID doesn't make it inferior. The only reason people weren't thinking about it is because they saw the inferior versions made by Google and Samsung and assumed (wrongly) that was as good as it gets. Apple proved them wrong by making a superior version.
I find FaceID superior to TouchID. Superior doesn't mean it's better at everything and in all circumstances. It means better overall. Which it is. Nothing to do with marketing.
Then why exactly is Apple "so incredibly stupid" for ditching the headphone jack?
I don't recall ever having said it was inferior. Can you please provide a reference to my post where I did so?
That's because everyone--users, haters, media and even Apple themselves, hold Apple to a higher standard which, for a few years now, Apple has not reached.
If someone where to release a notchless, forehealess, chinless phone, yea that would be great, but technology isn’t there, so for now I’d rather have as much screen as possible on a small footprint, and the notch give me that
You guys get that TouchID needs to be able to 'see' your fingerprints and other phone activities do not, right?
