That only happened on high-end smartphones. Low-end and mid-range still have 3.5 mm socket.
(Also, I actually look around regularly at the train station, and I still see mostly wired headsets. I'm using a wireless one, btw.)

- Fnoord 7y agoMaybe an American thing. Look around at Amsterdam CS or Utrecht CS or Rotterdam CS. Mostly wired.
- wyclif 7y agoIndeed. Here in SE Asia, everybody still uses 3.5mm jack smartphones. It's a rare occurrence to see wireless earpods, and almost always these are cheap Chinese AirPod knockoffs.
- xnyan 7y agoSome of the cheap knockoffs are getting really good. Mine get 4.5 hrs battery life, have the optical sensor on the bud that pauses when taken out and wireless charging case including an cloned (stolen) apple SoC that gives the real battery life of the "airpods" and case when the case is opened.
- peteretep 7y ago> Here in SE Asia, everybody still uses 3.5mm jack smartphones This does not match my experience at all, but SE Asia is a diverse place.
- Qu3tzal 7y agoDoesn't match mine either. Here in Japan (at least in Tokyo) it's uncommon to see wired headphones. Most are random wireless headphones, I would estimate 20-40% only being AirPods.
- je42 7y agoIn NL, I see mainly AirPods. less wired. and some other wireless brands.
- HeavyStorm 7y agoI think the number of wireless phones in Brazil is astounding. At least one in ten people. Which means that almost everyone still uses wired phones.
