[281.24 --> 288.34] Sony removed the headphone jack from the Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 Compact.
[288.80 --> 292.60] They outlined the details of why they did this in their blog.
[292.60 --> 296.60] This was originally posted on the forum by DieHardMind.
[296.60 --> 297.60] DieHardMind.
[297.60 --> 298.98] Would you mind doing a straw pool?
[298.98 --> 299.64] DieHardToLive.
[299.72 --> 300.34] DieHardToLive.
[300.40 --> 301.36] Yeah, I can do a straw pool.
[301.44 --> 301.80] Heck yeah.
[302.74 --> 306.96] Do you even consider Sony phones when buying a phone?
[307.72 --> 310.58] That is a fantastic straw pool.
[311.30 --> 313.82] Would you consider a Sony phone?
[313.94 --> 314.50] Now...
[314.50 --> 314.70] Yeah.
[315.78 --> 319.70] Here in North America, Sony's market share is like...
[321.32 --> 324.36] This is one of the reasons why I want to do this poll though.
[324.36 --> 326.86] Because we don't necessarily have just a North American audience.
[326.86 --> 327.34] Exactly.
[327.54 --> 330.14] It'll be a little skewed because we're live right now.
[330.70 --> 331.06] Yeah.
[331.20 --> 332.54] If this was the...
[332.54 --> 336.84] If we were able to get these results from the YouTube audience, I think it would be different
[336.84 --> 337.88] than what it's going to be now.
[337.88 --> 342.88] Someday when we're streaming on Floatplane and that stream can then go...
[342.88 --> 344.74] We could have like perpetual polling.
[344.92 --> 346.18] That like sits right under the video.
[346.36 --> 347.54] That would be super cool.
[347.62 --> 348.20] That would totally work.
[348.20 --> 354.08] I mean, yeah, it's all sort of theoretical at this point because Floatplane is not particularly
[354.08 --> 355.94] fully featured at the moment.
[356.54 --> 357.06] That's fair.
[358.14 --> 358.96] Last week...
[358.96 --> 360.42] I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything.
[360.56 --> 361.88] Last week hit a little deep.
[362.62 --> 363.64] That comment's fair.
[363.88 --> 364.28] Yeah.
[364.28 --> 365.28] Okay.
[366.96 --> 368.90] So I've gone ahead and I've dropped the straw poll in there.
[369.04 --> 372.56] But this was originally posted on the forum by Die Hard to Live.
[373.34 --> 380.96] And they basically outlined the two reasons for removing the headphone jack that subjectively
[380.96 --> 389.54] are probably about the worst reasons that you could do anything and contribute to, in
[389.54 --> 390.20] my opinion...
[390.20 --> 390.62] Oh my God.
[390.68 --> 391.44] Was that actually...
[391.44 --> 391.60] Okay.
[391.68 --> 393.12] I hadn't read their two reasons before.
[393.12 --> 394.20] Was that actually it?
[394.28 --> 395.84] Or did we just like come up with that?
[395.92 --> 398.74] Contribute to probably why I think...
[398.74 --> 402.50] Probably why the straw poll results will be what I think they will be.
[405.10 --> 406.30] So it's not good.
[406.38 --> 408.36] Let's go ahead and pull up the results here.
[408.46 --> 410.14] Would you consider a Sony phone?
[410.48 --> 413.52] Remember, we didn't say would you buy a Sony phone.
[413.60 --> 413.82] Yeah.
[414.12 --> 416.14] We said would you even consider one.
[416.16 --> 417.90] Would you even think about it at all?
[418.36 --> 420.84] We've got 26% of you saying yes.
[421.40 --> 423.20] 74% of you saying no.
[423.20 --> 427.08] And only 500% of you even bothering to vote.
[427.24 --> 431.46] Which is some pretty low numbers for these WAN show straw polls.
[431.46 --> 434.84] Which I'm going to put that category as a wow, I really don't care.
[434.84 --> 437.96] And no one is even still voting.
[438.22 --> 440.34] Like the results aren't even rolling in anymore.
[440.42 --> 441.62] Oh wait, yes they are.
[441.76 --> 442.50] Oh, oh.
[442.60 --> 443.06] And it's...
[443.06 --> 444.38] It died off pretty hard at 635.
[444.42 --> 446.06] It died off pretty hard.
[446.06 --> 447.56] It's like still kind of going.
[447.78 --> 448.26] It's not too much.
[448.26 --> 449.44] Okay, so...
[449.44 --> 454.06] Here are the reasons that Sony outlined for making this decision.
[454.32 --> 457.58] And you've got to remember, the strong opinion on this would be a yes.
[457.98 --> 461.40] Anyone thinking no, like it's kind of effort for them to be like, yeah, no.
[461.40 --> 465.88] So like there's probably a way higher percentage of people that actually wouldn't consider it.
[465.88 --> 466.18] But anyway.
[466.28 --> 466.96] Reason number one.
[467.92 --> 469.26] It looks more sleek without it.
[470.14 --> 474.40] So by that logic, a human would probably look more sleek without an anus.
[475.16 --> 476.74] But you probably shouldn't remove it.
[479.44 --> 480.44] Reason number two.
[480.44 --> 485.88] I thought you were going to hold it together on that one, but you couldn't.
[486.22 --> 487.14] No, not quite.
[487.64 --> 488.60] Reason number two.
[489.80 --> 491.74] Other companies are doing it.
[491.88 --> 492.20] Oh.
[493.48 --> 494.56] So painful.
[495.18 --> 496.82] Now, in fairness to...
[496.82 --> 498.12] Is that actually what they said?
[498.66 --> 499.94] In fairness to Sony.
[500.56 --> 501.66] In fairness to Sony.
[501.74 --> 502.42] Hold on a second.
[504.92 --> 505.66] Here, okay.
[505.80 --> 507.12] Look, do you want me to read the whole thing?
[507.12 --> 512.16] This is part of the shift to our new ambient flow design language.
[512.62 --> 517.50] In order to create the beautiful seamless design, our designers needed to remove the headphone jack.
[517.92 --> 522.92] Plus, we were aware of the major market trend towards wireless headphones over wired headphones.
[523.56 --> 524.12] So yes.
[524.70 --> 525.80] They literally did say that.
