Great arguments!
Still no reason to not just have both options.
Run the cable through your shirt. Problem solved.
New problem created. Now when you want to take your phone out of your pocket to take a picture of something or scan it for an NFT sale you can’t do that easily because you have this wire running through your shirt connecting your phone to your headphones. Also, if it’s winter, now your phone has to go in an inner pocket not an outer one so you can’t easily access it anymore.
Or you can, I don’t know, unplug the headphones for 2 seconds.
And start blasting whatever you’re listening to to the whole world? Well, you could pause what you’re listening to first. Don’t you see how this is much less convenient than wireless headphones where you don’t have to make all these compromises?
Redundant. Also, put your phone in your pocket and stop whinin’.
Ah, accept a less convenient alternative because of the limitations of the wires. Sure, sounds great.
My man, are you allergic to speakers? You’re cooking in a kitchen.
You’re cooking in a kitchen. There are loud fans, loud kettles. Why would you use a speaker that you have to turn way up to blast over all that noise? What’s wrong with you. Use headphones, you’re in a kitchen!
Skill issue. Run your wire underneath your jacket and you won’t have this “”“problem”“”.
Now you have the other problems with your phone being inside an inner pocket and not easily accessible for doing things like taking pictures or doing NFT transactions. You really haven’t thought this through, have you?

Well, the reason not to have both options if you’re a phone manufacturer is that pesky port. Every port is a headache for them. There structural weak points, they’re places that can get dust and dirt in them, etc. As a user, I want as many options as possible, but if I can get a phone that’s $100 cheaper because it doesn’t have a headphone port, I’ll definitely choose that option.

And yet headphone ports are on all the cheap phones and lacking from the high end phones. Your argument just doesn’t hold water.

The cheap phones are cheap because they lack other features, not because a headphone jack makes them cheaper.

Sure you can. Just unplug the headphones.

You’re either trolling or you’ve never used wired headphones. Playback stops automatically when you unplug a wired headphone. It’s the same thing when you disconnect a bluetooth headphone.

Wtf? Lol. If you’re kitchen is that loud, something’s wrong with it.
or doing NFT transactions. You really haven’t thought this through, have you?
Yeah, you’re either trolling or a very special kind of person.

Sure you can. Just unplug the headphones.
First you have to stop whatever you’re listening to or you start playing it on a speaker for everyone. Doing that is an annoyance that you don’t need to put up with if you just use wireless headphones.

Maybe it does today, I don’t know, I haven’t used wired headphones in many years. Back in the day it didn’t.
Wtf? Lol. If you’re kitchen is that loud, something’s wrong with it.
If you are kitchen is quiet, you really should be using the fan to get the smoke and food smells out of the kitchen. Maybe if you’re just making pop-tarts then it isn’t a big deal, but if you actually ever do any serious cooking you’ll discover that it gets loud.
Yeah, you’re either trolling or a very special kind of person.
Why are you so scared of the modern world? Is it that you’re too confused by it all? Can’t handle touchscreens? Scared by https? It’s ok man, just take a course. You’ll learn to live in the present, not the past.

You’re like one of those people from infomercials who is unrealistically bad at simple low-skill activities

And you’re like that farmer with his ass, glaring at all the newfangled technology, convinced it must be useless because you can’t understand it.

You’re missing the point again. It’s not one or the other. We used to have BOTH. I use BT headphones day to day because I like the convenience, like you. However there plenty of times I wished I had an aux out or forgot my BT buds and wanted to use a pair of headphones I had at the desk.
We deserve BOTH.
