I wouldn't mind if they replaced TRRS with a better connector. I get that the jack is a large part and it's difficult to seal against water ingress. The wiper contacts on it are also unreliable, and the plug doesn't release well when your cord snags.

Multiplexing headphones with my one and only charging port is absolutely the worst possible answer.

(Did i forget to mention that I want it to be an open connector? One that any vendor can make without Apple's permission?)

Apple ditched Lightning last year. All iPhones from the 15 forward are USB-C.

Lightning and USB-C are both equally terrible headphone plugs.

Sure, in that the port is far more versatile than it needs to be for audio output. I’m not arguing otherwise.
