Bluetooth headphones just aren't very good, and we've all gotten in the habit of buying a new pair every few years because they either break, get lost, are unsupported, or have bad batteries.

I previously had the same pair of IEMs for almost a decade that had better sound quality, replaceable cables and eartips, and didn't ever run out of battery. Never did I complain about the cables being annoying or in the way, and never did I complain about the presence of the headphone jack, or the Bluetooth chip onboard.

Removing headphone jacks was a horrible misstep in my opinion and we're stuck with the path dependency it's created now. It's probably not long before we have laptops that omit 3.5mm audio jacks as well.

Very otherwise upstanding people will absolutely talk behind people’s back about that person’s green bubble pollution.

People go on to mock the sales pitches android users use since everyone’s heard them ad nauseam for a decade

They are generally making deep assumptions about people’s decision making process if they have a choice in phone model, and making conclusions about that person’s socioeconomic class if they don’t have a choice in phone model

And it all ends with a laugh about how most android users live their life without knowing this is happening, but that reinforces the perception of a lack of self awareness and inability to pick up social cues

“mimicking robot but I love how much controllll I have over my phoooone”

“I dont want to be around anyone that cares about superficial things anyway” bro its everyone

Featuring an iPhone increased the number of likes received by 82%. Featuring a Samsung increased the number of likes by 20%. That means if you display a Samsung instead of an iPhone in your profile, you will get 34% less likes

Other phone brands did even worse. If your dating profile displays a Oneplus phone, you will get 55% less likes than an identical profile featuring an iPhone

Two people in the pub, I didn't know them well, but it comes up. What's interesting actually is the green bubble was not an issue for hook-ups, but it was an issue for long-term dating. I am talking about two people I've chatted to in a pub about this, and everyone else as well, so take it with a grain of salt.

Bring it up next time your in the pub! See for yourself.

Of course Apple does not need to care what I think, as I am not likely to buy their products anyway.
