    Oh, you mean USB headphones? TBH, way overly complex compared to analog with (albeit negligible) audio quality loss, which still works with legacy tech going back decades. It’s like arguing a bicycle is obsolete because motorcycles exist.

      If bicycles and motorcycles competed for the exact same role, with an opportunity cost allowing only one, how would bicycles not be obsolete?

            You did, because you’re assuming that you can only choose one or the other. Even though it’s been demonstrated that the headphone jack does not require much space, can even be added to phones that don’t have it (check out Strange Parts on yt) and does not have any drawbacks.

            That opportunity cost is not a thing.

              If you can add it to a phone that doesn’t have it already, I’m not sure what the problem is, in your view.

                That it should be there in the first place and that the reassons given for not including it are completely false.

                At this point I’m not sure if you’re trolling or just plain dumb. Either way, I’m not wasting any more of my time. Bye.
