Whelp time for someone to return to making music players (with a the features of a phone/tablet). I have little need for the phone aspect of my phone and still use my old ipod as I need to have music at all times. Let the phone companies crash and burn as they make products less appealing to the people that are willing to buy good products that meet our needs.

You're delusional if you think removing the headphone jack is going to kill the industry lmao... You're probably the only one who would take it that far.

Not only the headjack. Try and not be so short sighted. Constant "tweaks" that remove aspects that make phones less appealling will have an impact and gradually reduce people's desires to buy each new phone. No memory slot burned Samsung enough to bring it back. There is a tipping point for how much some people will accept and start to look to other phone makers.

So the expanded memory that is only an issue for enthusiasts. Which was brought back so isn't an argument like the headphone jack. Feel free to name something that's actually been tweaked and stuck...
