We used to have earbuds that don't need to be charged because they had a headphone jack, didn't get lost so easily because they had a cord attached to a headphone jack, never lost the bluetooth connection because they had a headphone jack, and they cost less because they had a headphone jack. https://bsky.app/profile/daisyfm.bsky.social/post/3l3mfjc6sn62k

Unfortunately, I think most people do want wireless connections at this point. We might even have phones with no wired connections at all soon.

I find the idea of a phone without any ports incredibly distressing. You're probably right, though. It won't be that long before apple and/or samsung try that.

I realize now that I'm likely in a loud minority.

As long as there are half-decent phones with usb & 3.5mm ports and sd slots, I'm content. The large manufacturers can do what they want for all I care - I just hope my niche persists.

Thanks for this exchange.
