No no, don't change the goalposts. The thing that I'm calling the parent on, is the prediction that I will like having no headphone ports. I have no idea what's going to happen with US smartphones sales in 2026, so I won't make a bet on that. I do know that I WILL NOT like not having a headphone port.

Ah, but that's not what their bet was... the bet was that you will happily buy a smartphone without said headphone port -- which I expect will happen because you won't be able to buy one any other way now that it's been demonstrated that it can be eliminated. You might not be happy about that aspect, but still be happy with your new phone as a whole, as you adapt to the lack of any option on that front.

  But I won't be happy with my new phone as a whole. You're saying I will, but I won't. You don't know what's inside my mind.

    Did you feel the same about floppy drives?

      Do you feel anything that's new is an improvement, like present storage technology is over floppy drives? Idiot.

        You don't consider wireless noise-cancelling headphones which don't need to be charged to be an improvement to hooking up a century-old cable?
