If you buy a foldable and are spending $1000-$2000 it makes no sense to not spend the extra money on service plans. Even with all the improvements Samsung foldables still fail at a higher rate than normal phones.

These are niche phones.

A few years ago I was on team keep the jack but at this point it’s not as necessary. USB C headphones exist, wireless headphones have gotten quite good, and if you use one pair of 3.5mm headphones if you keep a dongle on it it’s really not that inconvenient.

I should say that Reddit without RES would probably be much closer to what I’m seeing on Lemmy now.

Why? It’s a less mature platform with less features and not enough content. I get the idea of it being attractive but it’s like Mastadon without the content you’ve got an uphill climb.
