    I loved it when my phone had IR. I really hate it when restaurants have tvs on in the dining room. I would turn the volume down or even turn it off. I really miss being able to do that.

      Most Chinese brand phones like oppo and Xiaomi still has it as standard.

      I use it to control my air conditioning all the time.

        I had that phone for like 4 months and loved it! Unfortunately the police stole it when the house I was living in was raided… it was a good phone, I spent quite lot of hours researching which to get and decided that would be the best.

      I wonder if an IR dongle is a thing that’s available and would function well…

      Did that in my high school. Turned on Thomas the Train.

      I was a rebel. They unplugged the TV after that

        I just brought a universal remote to class, admittedly causing the TV to get unplugged as well.
