    Me too, but that one might be dead for good.

    Out of the phone vendor fuckery with the connector, battery, micro SD, and headphone 3.5mm, the headphones were always the biggest thing.

    Bring it back please EU hear my prayers. Right now I’m listening to music on my iPhone with a half broken dongle that pauses if I jiggle it wrong.

    The fucking audacity to remove a quintessential port is typical Apple. Was the same with DVDs, Ethernet, now even USB. Next thing I know there'll be no more ports, you'll have to wirelessly (and inefficiently) charge your phone even if you like it or not

    Not for any technical reason afaik. My LG G7 is plenty modern and has a 3.5mm jack. It also has Bluetooth, so it's not like it's an either/or choice. It's just the manufacturers dictating what choices consumers have.
