    Get in losers, we’re going to the future.

    Audio jack needs to die.

      On the contrary. If I’m paying double the price on a flagship compared to 8 years ago, then I want more features not less.

      I still use a c to audio adapter most of the time when I’m out and about. My wired earbuds don’t need to charge, have much better sound quality than wireless, and if one side falls out of my ear it just swings down instead of falling into the dirt/water/snow. As far as I’m concerned the only benefit of wireless is that they can’t catch on anything, and that’s more a skill issue than anything imo
