Google's Pixel 2 XL priced higher than Apple's iPhone 8 Plus but is half as fast, lacks ma...

All just my opinion of course
You are smart enough to know between any headphone / earpiece (is analog), and any processor(is digital), there will be a DAC..
now some old style phones put the DAC just before the nasty 3.5mm (or sometimes 2.5mm) jack plug connector... ( such a jackplug is often an audiophiles second worse nightmare)
in a headphone jack-less iPhone 7/8/X the stream is kept digital even through the lightning connector, and the DAC is at the other side, closely coupled to the headphone transducer.
Now as any half decent circuit designer knows, the (analog) coupling can really be optimized since the whole analog portion doesn't have to go through a connector, and it can be properly balanced and coupled correctly to the transducer.
Personally I liked the jack, because its more convenient, at a pinch i can get super cheap headphones when i forgot my good ones on a trip..
but any audiophile with at least a 3 digit IQ will understand that removing the jack was always an opportunity for them to get better sound, not worse

Apple Watch Series 3 with cellular and watchOS 4 have changed how I use my watch
josephine123 said:If you create a new list in Reminders called "Grocery," you can use it as a Grocery list with Siri. Tell Siri to add something to your Grocery list, and she will. I've been using this for quite some time now, even back with the original Watch. You can even it make a shared list so that all family members can add to it. -
