Don’t get me wrong. Apple removing audio jack was the biggest facepalm in smartphone history. And you can thank it for not being able to make an upgrade without sacrificing audio jack (and SD card too :/). But USB-C is getting standardized everywhere now (laptops, smartphones, etc.). What makes USB-C earphones not worth the switch?

        I can’t tell which side of the argument your response is supposed to fall on…
        Yes, people typically listen through their car speakers. Good job. Gold star.
        But not all cars have Bluetooth connectivity. There’s still a lot of people who drive vehicles that have to rely on 3.5mm connections (either directly, or with cassette or even CD adapters!). Or maybe their car supports Bluetooth audio, but they prefer the higher fidelity audio that a 3.5mm interface provides vs Bluetooth.

        Maybe I’m missing something here. But this response holds no water.

          I don’t deny that there are a significant number of people that still use the 3.5mm jack when driving

          But I believe that the majority of people do not.

          I do this……using a lightning adapter that has a 3.5mm jack and a lightning charging port. It’s not a problem.
