gollark: I see.
gollark: You seem to be suggesting that a lack of headphone jacks is fine because I can just carry another device for no non-headphone-jack reason.
gollark: I don't want to carry two devices when my phone has an entirely usable audio player app (and can even do video, and store 128GB of stuff, and that sort of thing), and actually has a headphone jack.
gollark: ... but my phone can play audio fine?
gollark: Especially since the alternative seems to just be proprietary headphone things which use up the one port on most phones.
