Somewhat overdue IMHO.

    Not in any practical sense of the word but that didn’t stop them from removing headphone jacks in order to shave an additional 1/16 of an inch off.

        “Think differently”

        Which is why they designed their wireless ear pods as if they cut off the cord for the wired variant.

      Just got my first phone without a headphone jack, and it’s thicker than my previous phone that had one. But honestly it’s mildly annoying at most. A dongle works, I guess, but it’s certainly weird and seems like an unnecessary omission.

        I moved on to Airpods shortly after they came out and honestly I have had 0 desire to use wired headphones with a phone. The Airpods pro sound great for earbuds.

        If I want a real super high quality audio experience I’d use a dedicated DAC and AMP because the ones in phones have never been amazing. Plus if I’m out and about there’s probably too much background noise to even appreciate good headphones.
