Google makes fun of Apple's missing headphone jack

October 4, 2016: 1:19 PM ET


At a press event in San Francisco, Google announced the Pixel, a phone that is billed as the first ever made by Google "inside and out."

Google touted the device's superior camera, a built-in AI-powered personal assistant, unlimited photo storage and a feature now absent from Apple's newest phones: a 3.5mm headphone jack.

A promo video aired during the event includes the line: "3.5mm headphone jack satisfyingly not new." The music playing in the background stops and a voice coughs for a second before the video continues.


The moment was a clear, if lighthearted, jab at Apple, which ignited an Internet firestorm last month for nixing the headphone jack from the iPhone 7. The reason cited by an Apple exec at the time: "courage."
