  • Lol, I can appreciate your commitment. We all have our white whales, mine are rear fingerprint and cordless charging. Edit: Also prefer as much plastic as possible. Make it lighter and less likely to break. I have a ceramic phone, it’s pretty (when it’s out of the case) but it’s heavy. So breakage is more likely to happen. I also have a Moto E5. You can throw it across the room.

    I’ve had probably 5 times as many USB C port failures as I have micro ports… And I’ve had like 5 phones with micro (which needed charging all the time) and 2 with C. I do think C is better overall, but I don’t believe the durability claims. I already have a nice phone that really can’t be used for much since the C port died, and it’s part of the motherboard. Fortunately it has wireless, so I can use it for a spare device, just not a daily.


  • Whenever someone says it isn’t dead to them, it tells me they don’t realize most average consumers care about convenience most of all.

    They (the average consumer - that is about 98% of them) don’t understand the tech, so have no way of forming an opinion or realizing why they may want a jack.

    Or removeable batteries, etc. They’re easily swayed by shiny and seemingly “easy to use”.
