Is about how I expect it all went.
Edit0: they seem to exist and they have a headphone jack? Incredible.
And an American flag with the incorrect number of stripes. I wonder which 2 colonies they decided weren't worth including on their phone.

Heading: We tested the Trump Mobile phone. It was 9 months late and no longer ‘Made in the USA.’

> There is a headphone jack, but it's on the top of the phone.
They say that like it is a bad thing. I've always preferred the headset jack on the top because if I'm using the device while sitting and the jack is on the bottom it interferes with resting my phone holding hand the table if I'm at my desk or on my chest or leg if I'm the couch.
The main argument I've heard for jack on the bottom is that most people normally put their phone in their pocket with the top down, so if the jack is on top you have to flip it.
Google is telling me that jack on top was the norm in the early days of smartphones but gradually changed as the pocket argument won out.
Of course this wouldn't matter at all if more phones rotated the screens so that the display was upright even if the phone is upside down. Then everyone could have the headphone jack where they want.
Generally I don't want to get my skin oils all over the lenses on my really expensive smart phone.
Personally, I still use my BidenPhone, which was an upgrade from my 2009-era ObamaPhone brick. /s
It's funny to see how all the history has been scrubbed from the Wikipedia entry.

Can you imagine "A Modest Proposal (/s)" ?
This page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony_punctuation - has sarcasm ones (but I don't think any are as well known as the interrobang, which itself isn't exactly universally used... though personally I'm weird enough to have a keyboard shortcut to type it on my phone)
I'm not the only one‽
(Unrelated, do you work at Paradox? Or 3 letters in your username coincidental to their abbreviation?)
It was confirmed home/payment addresses were leaked, how is that not worthy of notification?
Not quite true, though, because that book charged money in exchange for privacy.
