The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is THE argument about the headphone jack. It had a headphone jack, SIM/SD card slot, giant hole for the S Pen, the charging port, and it was IP68 water resistant, and guess what, it's thin. People are still using them now, if you install Noble ROM you can get the official firmware from a much newer phone and have the latest up to date Android with no loss of features. Simply one of the best phones of all time.
Ran one as my daily for 5 years and then upgraded to the note 10 and never did I think i was gonna miss a headphone jack that much. I agree with you it was feature packed and amazing. Wish i could go back but i cant.
@@psychatnight I thought that too when I finally let my S10+ go, which did me from release day until the S23 Ultra, but I've grown used to it now. I didn't want to upgrade and lose the jack but they were giving away Galaxy Buds, then they doubled the storage for free for preorders, which made the SD card issue moot. I love this phone but I'm really gonna miss the Note 9 and S10+ era :(
Did you know Samsung still makes a rugged midrange with a removable back, splash protection, dual SIMs, micro SD card, type C, and a headphone jack? They only sell it through the enterprise side, but the Galaxy Xcover 6 Pro is exactly the kind of thing the Android ecosystem used to be full of. It's a great phone, too - the earlier one was a little too slow, but the 6 Pro is more than snappy enough.
I used to rate every album in iTunes no matter how high or low. Then when iTunes shifted to Apple Music ALL MY RATINGS WERE GONE!! Over 1600 + albums over 15 years of meticulous clicking fell in to the fuckin' VOID! I haven't rated a single song since then. Am I losing out on much, I just wish they would give me a notification EVERY time an artist in my library released a new album or EP, singles, what-have-you. 2/5 🌟🌟
These After Show videos are getting me through doing dishes and the completion of dinner tonight, lol. Thank you for making them available here. They will likely also become my choice of entertainment for the take-down-the-damn-Christmas-tree-before-February chore I plan to do sometime this week 😅
I had dingus etched into my iPod Touch, when I found out about it thanks to you. It's still my main device, my old android was terrible and this thing makes me happy. :3
Years ago you convinced me to go and get a 256gb, and its been used and loved, never updated either and still on ios 13.2, love that nugget its been a speaker buddy
Whatever you do, DON’T LEAVE IT PLUGGED IN!!! Keeping it in a dock with power is going to absolutely cook the battery, rendering the dingus pod, officially dead 💀 rip
The iPhone 5c was my first smart phone, I've since upgraded to newer devices but kept the 5c around. I now use it as a music and podcasts player, it works great and I don't get disturbed by any messages or phonecalls as I have taken the SIM card out. Amazingly, the battery is still good and it has a headphone jack!
I still have my red 256 gig iPod touch I lovingly named little red nug. Two weeks after I ordered mine they got discontinued. Got all my music downloaded on it and more importantly, Delta emulator so I can play GBA and NES games super easily. Have had so many people see it and compliment it
Missing that they're the only ones with top level silicon and a headphone jack. Most entry level phones still have it, but using their Unisoc or Mediatek chipsets can be an exercise in frustration. Midrangers are moving towards no Jack as they see that people are willing to pay for a pair of whatever wireless buds that company makes. Sony and Asus and i think some gaming phones are the last to hold out for Jack. Thank god the PC industry is too disorganized to do it. Except for Dell of course.
I had the exact same problem with my 7th gen Touch earlier this year; using it for even just a few hours would absolutely eat the battery. My new daily driver music player is an unlocked 8 Plus with double my current phone's storage
It's extremely hard today to find high end phones that come with a 3.5mm headphone jack besides gaming phones. The only brands I found that offer this option is Sony and Asus. I ended up buying a Sony Xperia 1 MK 5 few months ago, and besides having a headphone jack, it also has expandable storage (up to 1TB). I found it ridiculous that other companies don't offer such useful features especially if you're paying over 800$ on a phone. Sadly, you'd often only find these features on budget phones these days.
i had like 4 ipods because they either got stolen or broken but i had the first touch for like 5 yars and i loved it so much i still have the one shown in this video somewhere
after watching your original video on this i ended up getting one for myself. I use it every day and have to admit it is getting pretty slow. ios 15.8 it wont even run the youtube app anymore. i mainly use it for music, podcasts and the occasional downloaded movie apple products are a novel when they work but are a pain when they don’t 😪
I still think the iPod touch (at least the 6 and 7) were great. Yeah they've gotten very archaic but I still think they're pretty cool so nice and thin and they charge ridiculously quick. As a simple little device to do basic stuff yeah it's handy.
My I pod touch 7th gen has so much use on it, I'm wearing the paint off mine. and it's way past due for a new battery and a new screen since my screen had many dead pixels.
I still rock a Galaxy S10+ i bought new in 2019. Thing still works great...although the battery just doesnt quite last as long as it did new...i find im hitting the charger an hr or so earlier in the day
Two weeks after I got my red 32 GB iPod touch seventh generation right before it ended I dropped it two weeks after I bought it shattered the screen butter replacement screen and just never replaced the screen
I still use my iPod touch every day. I know the battery's gonna die in a few years, though, which makes me kinda sad. But everything we own now has an expiration date.
The Samsung Galaxy S10 plus is the last phone with headphone jack, battery is 10 hours, 12 MP wide camera 16MP ultrawide camera, up to 1tb, SD card support up to 512GB, usb-c, in-screen fingerprint, wqhd+ display amoled, 15 watt fast charging.
There is so much Australian accent here in this channel that I feel like this is Bluey, but without the deep storylines, and just the silliness, high Australian accent, and I can’t stop laughing at all the interesting words I hear, like Dingus
the reason why the headphone jack is gone is not only because of water/dust resistance, but its one of the reasons from the iphone X, because in 2015/16/17, when apple is making the iphone X before announcement, apple had to bend the OLED (or LED) screen, to make all bezels look the same from the bottom, left and right, and top (if you ignore the notch), otherwise the bottom bezel would be chunkier than the others, so for that process, apple had to make an (BAD) decision to take the headphone jack from iphone 7/X and so on. yes, the 7 also didn't had an headphone jack bcs of water/dust resistance, but even still back in the day, it caused so much backlash before people thought that wireless buds were good... but i am still against wireless buds and the removal of the headphone jack. BRING BACK THE HEADPHONE JACK
The difference between 48khz stereo analog and Bluetooth AAC 44.1Khz is HUGE. The Bluetooth AAC even in a concrete box would still sound like FM radio compared to a true 48khz analog setup. Once you have tested the full range of audio through a pair of Sennheisers there is no going back to BT.
The reason why the headphone jack can't fit on a modern smart phone is that it's too thick to put the display on top of. The headphone jack on the iPod touch is in the bezel.
@@NR20244 I mean like, imagine where the plug for the the headphones is going in the phone, it slides into the phone and resides under the bottom bezel
It’s funny, because the iPod touch fifth generation, at least mine last about a month with here and their use and my seventh GEN can’t even last 10 hours
Every xiaomi and xiaomi companies' phones still have headphone jacks and have great dacs so there's no excuse for every other company without a headphone jack
Hilarious to see him talk about how hostile the internet is now, compared to what it used to be but uh if you go back to a lotta older internet stuff, I feel like it was way more harsh and hostile
the Android phone makers hated on Apple so hard for removing the headphone jack... then the next year they did it themselves. I hate all of these companies.
Please talk with Hugh Jeffrys maybe he can help you downgrade the ios so that it can talk with the mac again . I think that could really help you maintain a functional device running and not create more e-waste . Hope it helps .
They never figured out why a headphone jack could keep our landfills free from wireless headphones and worst earbuds....!!!! Not to mention it has a better sound quality.... sorry but they are clueless when it comes to sound quality... but they still called them smart devices.... only idiots could do that... sound quality is still an important part of smart devices so there should be two categories of phones or devices the really smart ones and the dumb as a rock kind. If we are supposed to pay such prices for high end devices with such low end audio... and this goes for every company making such dumb devices... I still own headphones that are older than those stupid companies and still work great. If it wasn’t because of a robbery I would still have my 1993 Celestion speakers. But no ! These companies think something should only last a few years .... those wireless devices still haven’t figured out how to make something last... we should force all those corporations to take back all their old devices and be accountable for recycling every last one of those junk devices...
Ahhh, the good ol iPod touch. I had a 4th gen as my first "real" portable gadget, even before getting my first phone. Interestingly enough, I had a computer before that even. I saved up so much allowance and holiday money to buy a laptop when I was 9 lmao.
3:40 ironically as much as you shit on windows, my windows version of itunes still updates and communicates with my ipod touch and I can five-star songs or add them to library or whatever else and they'll sync inside of minutes. oops.
You’ll mention mini usb being old and micro sd being old… come on, grandpa Let the headphone jack go It’s old. I thought usbc was suppose to do everything now. Can do everything except for one thing apparently.
Are people still on the headphone jack thing it’s been nearly 10 years I get it’s superior sound quality and supports lossless audio hence it’s superior sound quality and I wish the would get on it with getting Bluetooth to have lossless but come it it’s been like I said nearly 10 years get over it use the usb c port or the lightning connector it has the same benefits as the headphone jack and the charger and listen to music argument how often is your phone dying while you’re listening to music like that it should be not that often if it is get a battery replacement
It's annoying to have cable coming out of the bottom of the phone and they still put dacs with a headphone jack on phones, just not on the flagships, if you don't like something it's good to complain, I like that he doens't put up with the bullshit and always calls out the shitty software as well.
Mate, its annoying as ^^ - i had the gen 1 airpods, i had the gen 1 wireless earbuds, i had the note10+, any in the end, ive come round to using a sony 1 mkV - The airpods after 2 years had no battery life, the wireless earbuds had a massive case and if you want to listen to music overnight - then good luck. On 2010's cars which you will likely have as a first car, being able to plug ur phone in with a commodity 3.5mm cable is just great. The Sony 1 MkV just proves that there is absolutely no need for the headphone jack removal - other than money.
Dongles cost alot depending on what headphones youre using with them, the headphone jack just makes it guaranteed that youll have never ceasing audio with them, apple and the following companies killing the headphone jack really damaged the audio market and hearing variety, the headphone jack mattered alot more than some people think, a dongle is just unnecessary and overcomplicates things by alot more than they could be

It's still my main device, my old android was terrible and this thing makes me happy. :3

It would be nice to see the original upload date on these so i knew when they released
Or to have a link to the main video in the description.
Whatever you do, DON’T LEAVE IT PLUGGED IN!!! Keeping it in a dock with power is going to absolutely cook the battery, rendering the dingus pod, officially dead 💀 rip
Thank you! I was about to say the exact same thing. I’ve killed an iPhone SE with that.
I love these videos. Never change Dank!! Happy new years as well

I'm surprised that the battery is still good. My old iPhone 6's battery is trash, and my 2020 SE's battery is starting to get bad
@@Waffles8626my old 5c battery holds up well, it’s my current iPhone X that is suffering greatly
The little plastic bands on the back of the 5s were also for antennae, they definitely figured out how to make it look good on that model.
I still have my red 256 gig iPod touch I lovingly named little red nug. Two weeks after I ordered mine they got discontinued. Got all my music downloaded on it and more importantly, Delta emulator so I can play GBA and NES games super easily. Have had so many people see it and compliment it
I actually have the same iPod! Even in gold! But I made a huge mistake: I didn’t engrave “dingus” into it. Now it’s worthless. So sad. 😅
Some of the only phones that have headphone jacks are the Sony Xperia phones and Asus Zenphones. More phones like this need to exist.
Xiaomi entry-level phones does have it and even IR
Missing that they're the only ones with top level silicon and a headphone jack.

@@redstone0234Xiaomi phones nowadays even have a dac that can do 24 bit 192 kHz for some reason lol. 😂
My oukitel WP17 has a headphone jack and I still use it to this day. its a great phone and, it can be used as a weapon.
More phones that can't even be used as phones? XD

Dingus reminds me of mt co-worker who remains nameless, her hire date with this company was 09/11/2000
She put in her two week notice on 05/01/2024
the 5S also had touch ID. Also I can't believe how much some schmo paid for the Mrs's mega scratched pink 5c.
i had like 4 ipods because they either got stolen or broken but i had the first touch for like 5 yars and i loved it
so much i still have the one shown in this video somewhere
The iPod touch was so cool bro
Nooo, end of an era of apple mp3 players. For such a big company its pretty embarassing they didnt have the marketing to keep these relevant.
My dad still has the ipod touch 5 we gave him. It was used for 2 months until he got an iphone. It's basically brand new.
I had the note 9 forever and finally replaced it this year in January to the s23 ultra. Its such a predecessor to it.

Man had some good times with my ipod touch 6th gen but the battery life was atrocious unless your just streaming music with the screen off
Watching this on my iPod rn
I had an iPod touch and it would charge to max in 5 minutes and die in 6. Truly impeccable.
I loved my iPod touches
I almost bought one of these, but you're right... it would just sit. I love the form factor and that it's the last iPod, though.
i really still want one ipod so bad wish theres a cheap way to get it
Man I love my Sony Xperia 1 ii has many crazy features like headphone jack
Mine just got stolen recently which makes me cry

I etched troll faces into my pixel 1...
You have any Keel?😂
Me with my Doogee VMAX brick that's probably four times the thickness of that iPod
If its got a new chip then it should have power saving mode. that will let you squeeze some extra battery life outta that thing
My Ipod touch 5th gen will last a good week
if im not mistaken you can jailbreake it to downgrade firmware then get rid of the jailbrake to continue on a firmwear to connect back to your mac
If they think they cant fit in headphone jacks they need to look at ipod nano 6th gen headphone jacks
Upgraded from a cheapo a13 to a Galaxy s22 and there's no headphone jack! It's absolutely absurd
