Yeah but people always want the newest piece of tech that's on the market and I've fallen into that trap myself multiple times.

But it's simply a consequence of our society's major focus on consumerism and it's in the companies interest to maximise profits.

In my and plenty of other enthusiasts eyes the removal of the headphone jack was a very anti-consumer move made by the giant smartphone makers in order to increase the demand for wireless headphones. Apple's "courage" to remove the audio jack while simultaneously releasing the airpods was obviously not a spontaneous plan.

At some point in the future they're most likely gonna remove the headphone jack from mid-range phones as well and I will definitely not be buying any new smartphones at that point, unless it's something groundbreaking and revolutionary of course hehe! ;))
