FWIW, I disagree. The best Bluetooth earbuds don't compare to 3.5mm in sound quality, and wireless just adds another charging dilemma, which is usually fine but can become an issue in certain situations. The adapters are fine in theory but often are clunky or incompatible across platforms. USBC would probably be fine but almost no one uses them and when they increasingly double as charging ports, you have the charging problem again. 3.5mm is a standard that just works and works everywhere. I hate the pressure to get rid of it. It seemed nothing but self serving on the part of phone manufacturers to do so and driven partly by DRM concerns and a desire to either sell accessories (airpods) or ride a minimalism trend to shave design and manufacturing costs.
