    For those buy a dongle. This is not a reason to force a headphone jack on every phone. If it were a modular option, sure who cares. But “every phone needs a jack so some people don’t have to use alternatives” isn’t a good point

      Right, so when we’re saying that it was wrong of the company that sells their products on the promise of sustainability and compatibility, to remove their headphones jack and sell shitty ewaste earbuds instead, we’re totally saying that every phone in the world needs a headphone jack.

      Also funny how quickly we went from “you can get headphones with AAA batteries” to “use a dongle”.

      If only there was some simple solution that has worked for decades, has zero downsides and costs almost nothing to implement. If only!

        You moved the goal posts. The original complaint was about wireless headphones. Now it’s about wired ear buds. If you dig hard enough you can be mad about anything, but that doesn’t mean it’s important.
