Don't get me wrong. Apple removing audio jack was the biggest facepalm in smartphone history. And you can thank it for not being able to make an upgrade without sacrificing audio jack (and SD card too :/). But USB-C is getting standardized everywhere now (laptops, smartphones, etc.). What makes USB-C earphones not worth the switch?

But once again, how often is this a problem? I would say the majority of people are not in overnight flights that often

    There is a huge part of the world wide population that uses their phones constantly and need to constantly charge the phone. As an example think of a parking lot attendent sitting in a booth, nothing to do but play on the phone all day...

    I'm daily commuting via train. There are USB chargers everywhere in the cars, so this is pretty significant. And don't tell me to buy another wireless gadget I have to charge before I go - or some USB buds that won't work with my other devices, since USB-C is just a plug, not a Standard.
