Ah yes, I think we all remember the moment back in 2016 when Apple famously announced the removal of the foreskin from the iPhone 7.
You just knew it was the first step in getting rid of the headphone jack... and it made the mens line at the Apple Store, ironically, very long
to be fair, wireless headphones are handy. the wire itself is an annoyance. i'm glad its gone, for the most part. But physical media being gone and evertything being replaced with someones computer in the cloud... its stupid. and more expensive. i don't like it.
I believe credit for the first occurrence goes back to Ferdinand Magellan. Although he himself did not have the procedure, his crew did after his death in 1521.
