People still have wired headphones that still work perfectly fine. We used to be able to use them directly with our phones. We also had the option of using wireless too if we wanted. The option was removed, so now in order to keep using some of still perfectly fine electronics with our phones, it requires adapters. That’s annoying. What is the benefit to me as a consumer now that the jack is gone? Some marketing bullshit about weight or cost savings? I don’t buy it. Phones are larger than ever and more expensive than ever.
Sympathy? What a dumb take.

There’s half an argument to be made about waterproofing, but it kinda falls flat when the waterproofing we get isn’t that good.
“This phone is IP68 rated!”
Oh cool, so I can go swimming with it and take it into the shower?
“Haha, no.”
Great, so glad we gave up a ton of features for this.
