    Maybe it’s both. How come your okay with them making people throw away their perfectly good headphones?

      Why would I throw away my perfectly good bluetooth headphones just because a phone removes the audio jack? 🤔

        Why would I throw away my perfectly good wired headphones because a phone removes the audio jack?

        (The dongles sound measurably better than 90% of the headphones jacks on phones).

      Or maybe not making everybody throw away their perfectly good headphones?

      “everyone”? That’s a very bold claim. I would assume they did market research and concluded that putting more components in all of their phones is more wasteful than manufacturing a limited number of USB-C adapters for those who actually want it. Again: They’d sell wired headphones if the demand was that high.

      Framework Computers also relegated the headphone jack to a USB-C adapter. There is clearly a wider shift in the industry.
