I really wish it had a 3.5mm audio jack. I don't see what companies stand to earn, other than money, when they remove the headphone jack.

I can see why Apple and Samsung removed it because the they can market their own wireless headphones.

Removing the jack only removes capability, it is not like older phones didn't have the capability to connect to Bluetooth headphones

They don't even send a charger anymore...

How is that bad? Go to your drawer and use one of the dozens you'll have accumulated over the years

You don't accumulate that many if you don't buy phones every year or two, and then as mentioned, over more time your charger needs could've changed.
