Well, not always. Removing the iPhone headphone jack was dumb and pointless. Losing the ethernet jack on Pro laptops is also pretty bad. The reason is thinness

Losing the ethernet jack on Pro laptops is also pretty bad. The reason is thinness, I dunno if that's good or not. WiFi is sufficient for most people, but it sure as hell isn't better when you need high bandwidth and consistent low latency.

Apple's expensive BT headphones point the way to cheap third party BT headphones that aren't painful to connect (right now bluetooth infrastructure is pretty sucky). Once people are comfortable without the headphone wires they will have inductive charging like the watch and have a water resistant device like the new watch.
