Am I really weird in that all this coverage of cables and wired headphones seems irrelevant? Bluetooth headphones are cheap, wireless chargers are cheap, and other than a slight change in behavior they work the same with some extra conveniences.
Is it really that weird that I never plug my phone into anything?
No, it's not weird, and rumor has it that for years now Apple has wanted to make a portless phone.
I think they want to make money off of accessories and dongles but they're all a bit inconvenient tbh. I do think all phones should have headphone jacks though.
