Note that I mention that Apple sells yellow iPhones.
Even providing the link to the Apple youtube video about them.
*And you call that fact a mental health issue.*

Why?

Note that I mention that Apple removed the battery from the box.
Saying that they did it for the environment.
*And you call that fact a mental health issue.*

Note that I mention that Apple removed the headphone jack.
Saying that they did it to be "courageously" ahead of their time.
*And you call that fact a mental health issue.*

Why is it that _everything_ Apple does, you call a mental health issue?
Can it simply be that you _hate_ every fact about what Apple actually does?

Want more facts about what Apple actually does Hemidactylus?

He didn't call that a mental health issue, Arlen.

there never was a battery in the box to remove.

perhaps you're confused with the cheap christmas toys you wish you had
because your parents ignored you.

only the analog one, because the digital one was more functional and
there's no need for two.

the first android phone didn't have an analog headphone jack.

several more android phones did not have an analog headphone jack
*before* apple.

Given almost all Androids still have the rather functional jack,
your arguments are ridiculous (because you just make them up).

Saying the latest iPhone is no improvement on the first Android
is also a patently ridiculous argument only you could come up with.

The iPhone is _less functional_ without the headphone jack, nospam.

There is nothing a phone without the jack can do that the phone with teh
jack can't do - and - the phone with the jack can clearly do more.

That's just a fact.
The real problem is you folks _hate_ all factual truths about Apple.

not the ones that actually sell in large volumes.

this has been explained to you before but as always, you ignore it to
continue with your trolling.

GSMArena shows that there are 1366 Android phones from 2021-2023.

Of those, 956 have a 3.5mm headphone jack.

70% is not "almost all", Arlen.

By removing the jack and saying it was "courageous", Apple is extremely
obviously very clearly saying that it thinks its customer base is stupid.

Your excuse that removing the port "adds functionality" is ridiculous.
Don't you ever think before you make up excuses for bad behaviors of Apple?

Given almost every Android phone (except for the few copying Apple's model)
has the functional jack, combined they sell in large volumes, nospam.

The result is that almost every phone ever sold has the jack.
Except the poor (rather stupid) iPhone owners.

No one has said that removing the port adds functionality, Arlen.

Most high-end phones are going away from an analog headphone jack.

There are (according to GSMArena) 298 phones available from 2021 to
today that are in the same price range as Apple's iPhones.

Of those, only 69—less than 25%—have analog headphone jacks.
