Not to mention the lack of FaceID!

Actually, the lack of FaceID could be an advantage if you’re okay with a Fingerprint Sensor. It could lead to the smallest bezels via having the sensor under the glass. All you need is a small cutout for a lens.
 
Stating that one Android vendor updates their OS more often than another, is like saying one piece of meat at the supermarket isn't quite as mouldy as rhe other one, when they've both gone out of date.
What a silly comparison, full of arrogance and not worth any substantial reply.
 
You know CD players and tape decks are no longer in new cars too, right?

Except the majority of mobile devices today still retain the 3.5mm jack. Unless Apple starts using aptX HD like other handsets have now, BT on the iPhone is never going to sound as good or no latency as wired.
 
This trend of no headphone jack is disappointing. I still use an iPhone, and while I don't plan to use a Samsung, I have to commend Samsung on still keeping the headphone jack.

Oh yaaaaaawn...... It's not 1975 anymore. Get with the program.
 
Apple was inspired by Braun, not copy. There's a difference.

I have NO problem with inspiration. Neither does Apple (well, Ive at least).
So when Apple does it it is "Inspired" when others do it is copied.

Thank you for clarifying :D.

Even though I am not sure that ugly camera is a "great idea".

It is very beautiful, it looks very powerful. The price is good for a smartphone with such a large amount of memory and the presence of the latest SOC date!

So, are the new iMac Pro and MacBook Pro with 3.5mm 1975?

Nope. But a large device like that is for audio professionals who use high end headphones for their editing or production etc. An iPhone isnt meant to be that type of device so the lack of headphone jack is warranted. AirPods or whatever BT headphones more than make up for not having a jack. Don't like it? Go get an S9 or a Huawei or Xiaomi where they cater to the 2-3 people who actually care about a jack.
 
Will selfies turn upside down with that camera on the bottom chin too? :p
Pretty phone, could look better if it wasn't for that chin.
Xiaomi is scary though, I heard some chinese OEM's like Xiaomi include spyware on their devices, stay safe.

Keeping a technology for the sake of keeping it is wrong and bad for the evolution of the products. The minijack is the worst possible connection when it comes to sound quality. The unfortunate thing is that we are used to it and we have difficulties letting it go! Enough already, let us move towards digital connection with external high quality dacs and hi-res recording, mastering and streaming!
