    They could also bring back 24-pin serial connectors, the old ps/2 mouse and keyboard connectors and physical keypads.

    They’re not going to.

    The vast majority of people are going to be buying one version of Bluetooth headsets or another anyway. The wired headsets they’re not shipping were mostly just e-waste, and the jack represented another point of liquids ingress on your phone.

      False equivalency. USB is just as good or better than PS2 connectors. Bluetooth can exist on phones anyway and USB C has all its well documented issues.

        the 3.5mm jack has one thing in common with all of those connectors: Nobody uses them anymore.

        as I said: the VAST majority of people aren’t using wired headsets. We’re in the modern era using bluetooth-capable headsets. Which is why bluetooth is in literally every phone for about twenty years. It’s alot more convenient than dealing with a wire.

            No I’m telling you they stopped using them before they were removed, and don’t use them, even when they aren’t removed.

            If that weren’t true, Samsung would have seen a gain in market share when apple did it, and would never have followed.

            Sorry to get on your snark, but seriously.
