We used to have earbuds that don't need to be charged because they had a headphone jack, didn't get lost so easily because they had a cord attached to a headphone jack, never lost the bluetooth connection because they had a headphone jack, and they cost less because they had a headphone jack. https://bsky.app/profile/daisyfm.bsky.social/post/3l3mfjc6sn62k
Exactly. Get the adapter and don't lose it. Now, if companies made it impossible to wire in audio, well that would be totally insane.
Literally every single phone I've had where I use a USB C headphone adapter, the audio function just stops working eventually. Charging is fine, but audio just quits. I don't even use the port to charge this phone, I use a pad, but the audio has stopped working through USB. It's not a replacement.
