Below you will find my highly researched list of advantages over the typical smartphone:

  • Headphone jack
  • Mucho storage space
  • Works without internet connection
  • Free software purity (I don't know, ask RMS)
  • Coolness

Tbf you can still get a phone with a headphone jack, and with a ton of space. Not that you need a crazy amount for music anyway.

Also confused about the internet connection part. Even if you only use music streaming services, most let you download your music for offline listening.

I'm okay with the idea of a piece of tech meant to do a single thing, do it well for hours on end on one charge, while not spying on me in creative ways
