It’s time to admit it — Apple was right all along. The headphone jack has no place on a phone. What’s more, folks that have bemoaning its death will certainly stand on the wrong side of history.
The nostalgia train has departed
Long story short, the sweet embrace of nostalgia was clearly lacking. Once I was perfectly happy to use just any earphones you could throw at me, but experiencing these old-school accessories as a person that’s gotten used to wireless earbuds made a few things rather clear.
First up, the wires. Always dangling around, always prone to getting tangled up like a bowl of fresh pasta, always getting in the way. There’s no winning this battle, and I conceded a long time ago. Surely, you don’t need to charge those, but it’s quite inconvenient.
Regardless of the size, if no wires are involved then count me in!
The transition from wired to wireless was clearly worth it. Good riddance, wires.
