What's funny about headphone jack removal is that the Samsung phones that still have the headphone jack have bugs that make it inconvenient to actually use wired headphones, and Samsung don't care enough to fix it because next year's model won't even have a headphone jack anyways.

My hot take on the headphone jack is that no one actually cares that much about it and the people still beating that drum are contrarians that think everyone wants to listen to music on $500 wired headphones on the go.

I hope you end up spending $5000 on replacement airpods over the course of the year

Mine's lasted over 4 years at this point. They're great and surprisingly more difficult to lose than you'd think.

The one time I lost mine, they fell out of my pocket in my friend's car and I got them back a month later

Apple personally has a priest bless each airpod with a prayer to St. Anthony giving each lost airpod P > 0.85 of being found despite the circumstances.
