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.

In the US, OnePlus Open is a recent phone I can think of with an IR blaster, but that's a $1700 phone.
