How about, and i know this might sound revolutionary, but how about choice? You can still use wireless headphones when a device has a headphone jack.

Then this might sound just as revolutionary, you can still use wired headphones through USB C or lightning.

Yes. So you can connect your stupid cord.

Or you can join the dark side and use wireless.

With a dongle that

  • will on average break much sooner than the headphones or audio jack so one has to buy a new one
  • in most cases allows you to either charge OR use Headphones
  • might fuck up your sound quality because 99.99% of those dongles come from china and have questionable specifications
  • is a hassle to carry around all the time just in case one wants to listen to music and lost way too easily ?

It's a hassle to carry around? You're already happy dealing with 3ft of wire for the headphones, why does a 2in dongle make you angry?

Because that wire is already connected to the headphones and pretty damn hard to misplace while the dongle is more of a "whoops gone" item that also adds a double point of failure to the tech I'm having to carry around.

And how do you charge your phone at the same time? 🤡

You don't.

You simply buy a phone that can hold a charge and then charge at night. Battery is getting shit? Then replace it.

Holy shit.. Is this how it is arguing with a Tesla fanboy who climaxes when Daddy Elon locks features already installed in their car behind a paywall?

If you don't know how to charge your phone at night that's on you.
