Well, I'm a Gen Xer, so yes, the audio jack has been working well since before I was born, but what I'm seeing a lot of in this thread is people with slightly niche use cases.
The end result is - don't like it? Don't buy it. It's not coming back, no amount of wailing or gnashing of teeth is going to change that, if it's a massive inconvenience for your particular use case, the iPhone isn't the phone for you.
The proliferation of AirPods and other wireless headphones points to most people just embracing the new normal, which in some ways is superior (I really don't miss wires at all).
- marssaxman 8y agoWhat is this "not coming back" about? It hasn't gone away at all so far as I can see. The phone I'm typing on has a normal headphone jack. Bluetooth remains just as frustrating and unreliable as it's ever been. If the day ever comes that no phone is sold with a headphone jack anywhere, it'd be much easier to just stop bothering with music via phones than to put up with the endless hassles of a wireless headset.
- ddingus 8y agoMy thoughts exactly. So many batteries...
- philjohn 8y agoSorry, should have expanded to not coming back to the iPhone. I must be an outlier here, but I have zero issues with bluetooth. My iPhone syncs straight away with my car (a 4 year old UK Ford Focus), unsyncs straight away when I leave the car, and the AirPods "just work"
- smolder 8y agoYou probably live someplace sparse without too much wireless interference, for now. Wireless doesn't scale. Go to a crowded office building or apartment complex and use it, or a conference packed with other Bluetooth users.
