Man, I still lament their destruction of the aux (headphone) port. They destroyed that for the entire industry.
I love the destruction of the aux. It forced me to get a wireless headset, and I no longer have to bother untangling wires, or buying a new crappy headset every 2-3 weeks because the wires would break. Also, the quality of the sound in my wireless headset is waaaay better than any wired I ever tried.
Sure, they cost more, but the quality and convenience are so worth it, and I wouldn’t have done the switch if I hadn’t been forced.
What is the conversion process for the audio?
You have to convert the audio to a bluetooth compatible codec like LDAC instead of just using the audio file. This compresses the signal and loses data.
Macbooks still have a headphone jack.
The top looks like an m1 macbook, which has a 3.5mm jack opposite the two USB c
It’s so dumb. I’m obviously going to keep using non-proprietary headphones. Even if I have to buy a whole docking station with an aux jack.
Did it? All of the laptops I've gotten in the past 5 years still have those ports. But I don't buy Apple stuff.

I also missed the headphone jack until I was running one day and I got tripped by the wire.
I still want more USB ports. Just two ports, Apple? WT fridge?
