I would say having a headphone jack is better than not having one, but stop short of crying conspiracy. You would feel better if they didn’t sell BT earbuds?
I’m saying it is very hypocritical and goes against their brand. If they simply came out at said: Look guys making phones sustainable cost too much, we need to sell higher margin items like like dongles, BT earbuds and cases to have enough cashflow.
Ok, fair enough. I would say.
But trying to justify and greenwash the whole ordeal is insulting. The tactic is straight out of Apple’s “Think different” book. Paying more for reduced functionality. Only for them to sell you more accessories for even more money.
