Pains me to say this but the whole "courage" speech honestly felt like the reality distortion field has gone into meltdown at Apple.
All I wanted was them to tell me what great benefit that space in the case being free brought me, be it more battery, waterproofing, more processing power. But what did I get? I got told they were doing it because they hate wires and it's a courageous thing to do, like I'm supposed to applaud them for that. No solid justification for it at all.
For years I have used my headphones in my iPhone on the way to work then as soon as I get to work I plug them into my laptop.
Now I have a choice of:
- switching over the BT (gonna be fun pairing and unpairing when I arrive and leave work)
- using my same headphones and carrying a dongle having the dongle rattling around my desk during the day, then taking the dongle with me for the trip home
- buying two pairs of headphones with one that ONLY works with the iPhone
None of these are good solutions.

And you only have to do it once per family of devices associated via iCloud.
