“always-smug Apple fanboy” clearly has more understanding about the electronics and the market in general than you do. 3.5mm jack was a space limiting factor, specifically preventing phones from becoming thinner. It’s also a pain to waterproof. Good riddance.

You had me with e-waste lol. Most wired headphones are discarded because the wiring goes bad. Research is hard when you’re ignorant.

Watching the bitter comments here, I can see that this touched you and got into your feelings. Maybe time to self-evaluate?

You could have just ignored “stupid apple fanboy” comment and moved on, but no ..

Bluetooth audio is mid. Still has huge latency, still needs to stay charged (boy howdy, do I wish earbuds could plug right into the phone). My phone still has 3.5mm, sorry yours doesn’t

I had the iPod Mini for years, with an upgrade from HDD to SD. Worked so wonderfully. Was running rockbox of course. It sadly passed away years ago. I bought a new MP3 player this year but it’s far from perfect. The user interface is just lacking in all aspects. I’d like something similar in size, but with Spotify on it. Especially for going to the gym.
