I didn't even realize Qualcomm removed the built in FM radio from their chips. Huh.

my phone has an fm radio but it needs wired headphones

[–] smallaubergine@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's because the FM signal needs an antenna that's longer than you can fit in your phone

Good luck bringing it back when the whole industry moves away from wired headphones and 3.5mm jacks.

industry moves away

And nobody asked them to.

I like 1/8" jacks too, but active noise cancellation -- which is pretty impressive, honestly -- legitimately needed a source of power, and there was no standard way of providing that over that interface.

You can get both USB-C or Bluetooth adapters for a 1/8" headphone set to run an existing pair. I'll concede that it's a bit more bulk to carry, but one can continue to use 1/8" headphones with phones.

Wired active noise cancelation headphones exist, you know. They have batteries, which are a perfectly legitimate source of power.
