The only reason? Doesn’t shallow dismissive posting violate comment rules here?
It’s almost as if “every argument I make about frugalness and standards is maybe leading me to ignore other considerations.”
“Pros” continue to make use of their wired kit, and it changes the math of recurring waste problem; I’ve thrown away many fewer pairs of $30 earbuds since iPhone 7. Saved money and generated less consumer waste over the long run. Now scale that up to the iPhone user base.
You seem to believe human agency must be functionally fixed on how we used to do things. Or at least how you have been lead to believe we did. Turns out iterating away through new invention is how we do things. Or do you have your wax cylinders ready?
And for people that want a wire a 2” dongle is available. Given all else they get with a life that affords an iPhone, oofda what a stretch.
Let’s get to the back of the line with our first world sour grapes a bit. I can see how broader utility was enabled in a variety of ways.
Sorry you haven’t been able to cope with, really, such a trivial change in 5 years.
