  I will never accept the death of the 3.5mm jack. I refuse to buy wireless ear buds as I know I will lose them. I need my tiny ear speakers to come with anti-misplacement cord technology.

    FWIW, I thought the same thing. But then I bought some cheap Chinese buds and never lost a single one. I’m on my third or fourth set and still haven’t come close to losing one.

    Though I still won’t pay for the premium priced ones.

    I mean, I use Bluetooth headphones on my phone most of the time, but I do still require a headphone jack as a backup. I used a phone without one for a while, and decided I need one on future phones, as well as a micro SD card (I need more than a tb of storage for my music and audiobooks).

    😆 I do use a dongle anyway. Even if I bluetooth it, I’ll have a DAC/Amp with a jack.

    Check out beats flex, they’re fantastic and have great battery life. Mine are almost six years old and work great still. They’re wireless but cabled together. The cables don’t tangle together like wired earbuds, either.

  I’d love an SD card again. At home, I can just use SMB to access remote file systems on my phone. I can do it while mobile, but despite the gig connection, it’s a bit too slow for my taste. Works for files, but it won’t ever let me watch a downloaded movie on a plane or a podcast while driving across Kansas. I’d rather be able to dump 128GB on an SD card via my laptop (much faster I/O) then stick it in the phone.

  I’ve gotten used to BT headphones, but I’d love to be able to plug in to a stereo again without a flakey Bluetooth dongle
