It's selling eight times faster than the Nothing Phone (2a). Nothing unveiled the CMF Phone 1 this past Monday, and the phone went on sale earlier today....

        How does it being 2024 justify not having a headphone jack. Most other phones competing with the phone 1 do have a headphone jack fyi.

          Because smart people started switching to Bluetooth back in the mid 2000-s. Because wires suck big time. It’s 2024 now, there’s absolutely no reason to use wired headphones.

        As a person who’s been using Bluetooth headphones almost exclusively for the last 5 years, 99% of them fucking suck regardless of the price range

          I’ve had a pretty good experience with them, personally, but mine are a relatively expensive pair

          But for wired headphones, usb-c headphones seem to be the modern de facto standard

            I know this is true, but it’s dumb as hell. The difference in thickness between a usb-c port and headphone jack is millimeters, and a good pair of wired headphones is still a good pair decades later. No need to upgrade the connector unless you’re making money off selling usb-c headphones.

            It’s not like it hurts bluetooth users to have a headphone jack they won’t use.

      Tbh I have an ipod classic and I don’t use it as much as I would like even having a good set of cans because the wire becomes annoying to me after short time so I’m actually going to mod it to add Bluetooth
