Kyuubi4269 04/13/18 7:58:16 AM #1:	I was looking at getting an Xperia XZ2 compact despite the lack of headphone jack as there was an offer for free 180 bluetooth earphones. They have a battery life in use of... 3. FUCKING. HOURS. What is this fucking garbage? Evidently the tech isn't up to speed yet manufacturers still insist on removing the jack.

Stop taking shit away that we use. S8 and s9 "button" is still there. Just not physically. Its the only one that does need to be shown on the screen to work, at least in my experience. Also the removal of the headphone jack has nothing to do with waterproofing or making phones thinner. All it has to do is with companies saving money on not having to put in that one part. Iphone 6/6s/7/8 are all the same size, as you can use 7 and 8 cases on a 6 and 6s. Only reason youd have to get a new case going from a 6/6s is cause the camera difference.

SushiSquid 04/13/18 3:28:27 PM #16:	SunWuKung420 posted... If a program freezes, no button, physical or otherwise, would work. No, I can still use the Home button when a program freezes, and sometimes Back button too. Plus I hate how easy it is to accidentally hit software or (especially) capacitive buttons. A physical button requires real force, so you don't accidentally hit them. Other than cost cutting, there wasn't a good reason to switch to software buttons. They're just inferior. <cite>SushiSquid posted [p:899598196] in Someone ex...
