My brain works fine compared to yours which cant count 2+2 you always gets 3 which is wong answers.
I can name you mayne people using wireless earphones which will tell you that wireless are better than wired.
I can name you 10+ devices.
You always going like old fashioned tape replaying same thing around and around.
Either you are boring or your life is boring but i am bored of hearing the same old lies.
Truth is jack is ancient technology and has been taken over by wireless.
Same way like tapes and disketes has been replaced by CDs DVDs and blue ray discs.
If tape is better than a bluray tech then you really needs medic.

        Mind you, Pocophone F1 has generated a ton of money due to it's insane low price despite having the jack. It seems that people who buy this do care about the jack presence in some articles and are happy about it. This shows that 3.5mm jack is not ANCIENT. It is just there as STANDARD, for your CONVENIENCE. And if you have a 3.5mm connector type headphone, just plug it in, simple as ABC and use it right away. No need to fumble over turning on the BlueTooth just to use BlueTooth headsets and wait for connection which may not work at all times.

        Based on my comments, you are being one-sided.

            vote by your wallet guys, stupid trend is for stupid people. There's no acceptable reason for removing 3.5mm jack, unless you don't mind called 'mindless sheep'

              Dozens of bluetooth earphones are equal or far better in producing sound quality than wired ones.
              If you always go for cheapest model you cant spot difference. Try airpods for example.
              Releasing and producing ancient jack technology in present era killing companies and sales.
              Look at xiaomi. They put nothing extra to pocphone and is selling only for 300 like a freshly baked bread on a huge duiscout.
              Jacl looks awkward and its stupid finaly understand than i am right and you are wrong OMG. Its not that hard.

              Based on my comments you know nothing.
              My first and last apple experience was with apple 6 when it was brand new I GIVE UP after 3 months switched back to android because apple is ignorant and not working way i like love and prefer.
              Had Vibeshot from Lenovo for 3 years now having Moto X4 both android phones both are excellent working very well without even a tiny problems i am completely satisfied compared to you.

                  Anyway jack is awkward looking thing in present future era of bluetooth and wireless technology.
                  Even my colour printer is wireless and its much bigger than pair earphones.

It is LOGICAL, CONVENIENT and PRACTICAL for real world usage. And it sounds BETTER too. Heck, even a cheap $6 headphone STILL BEATS Bluetooth / Wireless any day in terms of audio lag / quality. Are you wishing every company to "bend themselves" to your master Apple? DREAM ON.

                      Based on your comments, you don't sound like an Android fan to us Android Users / Truthers. You seem to be "lying" to others that you don't like Apple. However, the people (Android Users / Truthers) who came to comment here know that DEEP inside your heart, you like Apple. And how can you be happy and BLIND with that ridiculous decision?

                            Last December GSMA did a Weekly poll: Do you still use a 3.5mm audio jack?:
                            https://m.gsmarena.com/weekly_poll_3_5mm_audio_jack-news-28641.php

                            69% voted for 'I do, wouldn't buy a phone without one':
                            https://m.gsmarena.com/weekly_poll_results_the_3_5mm_headphone_jack-news-28740.php

                            This year it may be less, as there are more alternatives:
                            I like being able to plug my phone into my amplifier using the 3.5mm jack to L&R RCA's, & charge my phone at the same time.

                            In September 2016 when Apple launched the iPhone 7 without a 3.5mm jack, 46% (the majority) of their users weren't very happy about it, and said that they wouldn't get the iP 7:

                            This strategy has worked well for them (so far), I understand the Airpods are it's top selling accessory:

                            Also they'll soon be releasing NC Over the Ear.
                            They would've been available in 2018 but Bloomberg’s sources reportedly said that while they were due for launch this year, ‘development challenges’ has seen them be pushed back to 2019.

                            It'll be interesting to see if their fans go with Apple/ Beats or Sennheiser, Sony, AKG, B&O, B&W, Bose, Onkyo, etc.

                              Unless you spend as much as you did to buy a wired earphone as a wireless one.. there is not much diff.
