I am going to upgrade my phone but can’t decide. I have 6s right now and contenders are S8 and IPhone8? I heard IPhone eliminated the headphone jack and not happy about it. Thanks!

You can get an S8 and join forever that jealous bandwagon that always has to say something when a new iPhone comes out #S8butthurtFeelings #S8noCachetLOOOOOL #S8whocares

I have a 6s for work and S8 for personal,I used to be an HTC guy. S8 is easily the best phone I've had yet.

Thanks guys! Ordered iPhone 8. It was due for upgrade and cost me $49 and it was tempting. I am also planning to buy S8 unlocked for personal use around holidays😀

I wouldn't bother unless you have a great deal. The 6s is plenty good (and still sold by Apple). I'd wait another year.

Depends if you still like drinking the apple Kool aid of no innovation and rising prices

Eventually most top tier phones will have no headphone jack

I haven't hated not having a headphone jack as much as I thought-I'm just better about charging in advance of calls and have a splitter when needed.

I just upgraded my 6 for an 8, and the functionality is identical. They give you special earphones as well as a converter for regular earphones so not having a jack is only an issue if you want to have earphones in while charging

note 8

Google has also removed the headphone jack. It's going to be standard pretty soon. Not much difference in looks between the 6 and 8

What do you do with a Staff with ~1 year exp that legit won’t work. For example, you give them a simple task at 10am that should take 3 hours max, they ignore your check-in messages and then ask if they can give it you in the morning. They never ask questions. Morning comes and they still didn’t do it. When they finally do it, it is riddled with errors and clearly shows they didn’t try. Working under tight deadlines, this staff is killing me as I cannot rely on them at all. What would you do?
