Don’t get me wrong. Apple removing audio jack was the biggest facepalm in smartphone history. And you can thank it for not being able to make an upgrade without sacrificing audio jack (and SD card too :/). But USB-C is getting standardized everywhere now (laptops, smartphones, etc.). What makes USB-C earphones not worth the switch?
A usbc dongle with charge passthrough is like 3 bucks on Ali. I have like 5 of them around my house so every time I lose one another will likely turn up when I search
If you ever find one that can be rolled up compactly and is a single wire, I’ll buy one for each of my friends.
