It does bother me, yes. It’s an unused orifice that could get all kinds of crap in it. I don’t miss them on something that’s in and out of my bag, pocket, car etc.
Wow. That’s nice of Apple. Just giving away these new adapters and lightning earphones. Huh? People had to BUY them? As in spend more money because their previous products no longer worked with their new phone?
I have one Lightning-to-Jack adapter that was included with my old iPhone 8, and two pairs of EarPods with Lightning plug that were included with subsequent models.
Besides that, the claim was that the headphone jack was removed to force people into buying AirPods. But that claim falls down when there clearly were other, non-Bluetooth options.
On the back so it doesn’t get in the way.
But seriously, neither. If I’m listening on my phone I’ll be out and about, and don’t want wires in the way. Bluetooth all the way.
At home, via a decent DAC hooked up to a PC.
Does it bother you that much if your phone has a headphone jack that you don’t use?
Does it take away something from your experience? You always have the option of just… not using it.
I always charge my phone wirelessly but I’m not gonna go and say I prefer a phone without a charging port. That would just be stupid.
The only reason headphone Jacks got taken away was so you’d be forced to buy Bluetooth solutions. Like AirPods.

It does not take up huge amount of internal space. That’s bullshit.

Totally. That’s why they never made adapters and never included cabled earphones with lightning plug. It was AirPods or nothing.

I see, perhaps you feel more comfortable with “Strongly coerced” then since you seem to take “forced” very literal.
