Totally agree. Small body is appealing. Update the tech, keep it small. I’d be willing to forgo touch and Face ID, just to use passcode if necessary. Remove the headphone jack, increase battery life, update camera so it’s stabilized with gyroscope.

Not realistic, but I would also love an e-Ink or Mirasol display option, so that battery life would last much longer. The tech has gotten a lot better, and readability in sunlight is fantastic.

Why do you hate the headphone jack so much? I hate Bluetooth and would really prefer having a headphone jack

I presume it makes it harder to waterproof the phone with multiple ports. Having only one port, either lightning or USB-C, would hopefully lead to a better phone design. And if we’re trying to add Face ID, I assume the headphone jack is wasted space. I can buy an adapter or use the compatible Apple headphones that would be included.

But honestly, I’m done with Apple. I collect old iPhones and use them until they give out. I will not buy another flagship but am really interested in Purism’s phone. Currently have an SE, 5S, 2 5Cs, and a 6. I use them for various purposes and eventually will recycle when they die

Genuinely: why do you hate Bluetooth so much? I literally have a hard time discerning a difference of quality with music/audio these days.

Convenience. Not having to charge something. Having something that always just works. I have a pair of BT headphones too btw. I think both have use cases and there is no good reason to remove a jack (unlike floppies)
