google pixel 2 actually doesn't have a headphone jack
Renderman In A Bowl:
When you throw a literal stufffit over a phone that you would never buy.

i don't know how the usb-c port sounds, but on the iphone, the lightning port has better sound quality than the 3.55mm jack. since usb-c was designed with help from the team that designed the lightning port, it probably also sounds better than the 3.55mm jack.
apple has, on numerous occasions, taken risky steps in attempts to revolutionize the tech industry. they popularized the touchscreen phone, and now, against all odds, they've popularized the removal of the 3.55mm headphone jack.
edit: i forgot that apple is adding the headphone jack back in their new phones. i don't have anything to say about that.

this stuff is a year's salary and people still buy it. why? because they make the product for expensive business people, not 16 year old virgins on lego forums lol. if you're really looking to get your money's worth in a product, buy a $15 flip phone
price aside, the removal of headphone jacks is an objectively terrible business choice

The equivalent of that would be something like the Lamborghini phones, Vertu and other companies that make pointless stuff for certain people to show off while still being functionally on par (or subpar) from other products. A $10 watch won't last as long as a $200 watch, but a $200 watch might very well last as long as a >$10000 watch.
~$4000
~$21900
And other stuff, including pure gold dumb phones. (the one below is still Vertu figures but there are other examples)
Also I actually like the looks that Vertu phone. The Lamborghini one is ridiculous though.
I am just saying I consider this a better equivalent, not about the iPhone, Pixel or any other phonee in particular.

Objectively incorrect. That is unless the expensive watch is one of the low quality jewel-covered watches that are only bought by the kind of people that inherited a fortune as a kid.
Luxury watches such as a rolex, iwc etc. will keep ticking (ridiculously accurately, might I add) for a very long time and if properly maintained will outlive the owner. And that's even if it's regularly used. Try get that kind of functionality and design from a $200 watch.
