We used to have earbuds that don’t need to be charged because they had a headphone jack, didn’t get lost so easily because they had a cord attached to a headphone jack, never lost the bluetooth connection because they had a headphone jack, and they cost less because they had a headphone jack. https://bsky.app/profile/daisyfm.bsky.social/post/3l3mfjc6sn62k

No there are plenty of budget phones that still have it.

When they told you there was not enough room, **they lied ** When they told you it would compromise waterproofing, **they lied **

They just wanted to sell you wireless headphones

I surely love when corporations ruin their products as an indirect way of marketing their shitty stuff to me… (sacarsm)

That didn’t work, though? My phone came with headphones that plug into the Lightning outlet.

And yet you see everyone using wireless earbuds or speakers. Nobody’s buying the fabled USB-C or Lightning outlet.

Also i’m pretty sure that means you can’t charge your phone at the same time? I wouldn’t know because i’ve never had a phone that didn’t have a jack port.

People buy wireless earbuds because they want them though, not because they were forced into it.

Yes, the charging thing is annoying but it doesn’t affect me in most situations. Also, you can get an adapter for like $10 that allows you to charge and use wired headphones.
