    All this accomplishes is an unnecessary inconvenience. I shouldn’t have to lug additional cables, and far more importantly the choice between Wired/Wireless should be up to me, not the manufacturer

      That USBC dongle will sound much much better than the weak DAC they’d pair with the headphone jack anyway.

      I have a headphone jack on my 4a but I still use the dongle because the dongle can actually drive speakers.

      It’s like complaining a new PC doesn’t come with USB-A and only USB-C.

      Design decisions shouldn’t always be up to the end user. Every single option can’t always be included forever and ever.

      If you want wired for quality, you need a DAC anyway. If you want wired otherwise, leave the adapter on your headphones.

      Don’t let your inability to adapt stifle actual developmental progress.

        Jesus Christ, they do? Add it to the list then, i ain’t buying a computer without USB A ports. Also, taking choices away from the user is the shittest excuse for progress i have ever seen or heard of
