    Run the cable through your shirt. Problem solved.

    New problem created. Now when you want to take your phone out of your pocket to take a picture of something or scan it for an NFT sale you can’t do that easily because you have this wire running through your shirt connecting your phone to your headphones. Also, if it’s winter, now your phone has to go in an inner pocket not an outer one so you can’t easily access it anymore.

    Or you can, I don’t know, unplug the headphones for 2 seconds.

    And start blasting whatever you’re listening to to the whole world? Well, you could pause what you’re listening to first. Don’t you see how this is much less convenient than wireless headphones where you don’t have to make all these compromises?

    Redundant. Also, put your phone in your pocket and stop whinin’.

    Ah, accept a less convenient alternative because of the limitations of the wires. Sure, sounds great.

    My man, are you allergic to speakers? You’re cooking in a kitchen.

    You’re cooking in a kitchen. There are loud fans, loud kettles. Why would you use a speaker that you have to turn way up to blast over all that noise? What’s wrong with you. Use headphones, you’re in a kitchen!

    Skill issue. Run your wire underneath your jacket and you won’t have this “”“problem”“”.

    Now you have the other problems with your phone being inside an inner pocket and not easily accessible for doing things like taking pictures or doing NFT transactions. You really haven’t thought this through, have you?

      You’re like one of those people from infomercials who is unrealistically bad at simple low-skill activities

        And you’re like that farmer with his ass, glaring at all the newfangled technology, convinced it must be useless because you can’t understand it.

          You’re missing the point again. It’s not one or the other. We used to have BOTH. I use BT headphones day to day because I like the convenience, like you. However there plenty of times I wished I had an aux out or forgot my BT buds and wanted to use a pair of headphones I had at the desk.

          We deserve BOTH.

        Well, the reason not to have both options if you’re a phone manufacturer is that pesky port. Every port is a headache for them. There structural weak points, they’re places that can get dust and dirt in them, etc. As a user, I want as many options as possible, but if I can get a phone that’s $100 cheaper because it doesn’t have a headphone port, I’ll definitely choose that option.

          And yet headphone ports are on all the cheap phones and lacking from the high end phones. Your argument just doesn’t hold water.

            The cheap phones are cheap because they lack other features, not because a headphone jack makes them cheaper.
