It was bad screw up and PR hit, but it was not intentional.

#32> No 3.5 mm jack Oh well
I personally didn't find the lack of 3.5 mm jack to be as big of an issue as I thought it will be. I just attached the USB-C-to-3.5mm adapter that came in the box to the headphone cable and forgot about it.

Do you know if these converters are device specific or can I plug them into any USB-C port on any computer and have sound come out of my headphones.

If you think that is crazy look back to the Nokia 1020 that had a 41 MP camera and PureView back when most phones had like 8 MP. It took some awesome photos and several of my friends were very satisfied with the phone.
AAWP just did a PureView comparison, very interesting that the older Nokias actually beat the new Nokia 9 PureView

On iPhones at least, the Lightning-to-jack dongle is actually a whole DAC. Also a DAC that works on Android wouldn't necessarily work on iPhones.

#36This pureview-camera is designed by https://light.co who bagged $121m [0] in Series D funding lead by SoftBank a year back to develop what they call 'software-defined cameras' (SDN/IDN/NFV equivalent of the computer networking world, I guess). We might see more of these.
Here's a talk from co-founder Rajiv Laroia on their first camera, L16: https://spot.light.co/the-l16-under-the-hood/ ( https://youtu.be/vKmC9xWHhM4 )
The fancy camera aside, I'd have tough time recommending a Nokia device after they were caught sending user-data to servers in China: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19449824 but then again almost all major android phone manufacturers are Chinese...

I actually think 1 41MP is less crazy than 5 8MP cameras.
5 lenses, 5 chips and 5 angles, seems hard to use in unison, so you end up having 4 cameras you don't use.

I found it to be a really big issue. But i guess it is about expectations. I bought iPhone XS expecting it to be a none-issue, but it also doesn't come with a converter.

It varies from adapter to adapter. The one that came with my Pixel works on my 2018 MBP.
