Don’t get me wrong. Apple removing audio jack was the biggest facepalm in smartphone history. And you can thank it for not being able to make an upgrade without sacrificing audio jack (and SD card too :/). But USB-C is getting standardized everywhere now (laptops, smartphones, etc.). What makes USB-C earphones not worth the switch?
It’s not insertion cycles, its bending it while it’s in your pocket so contact is intermittent, which some of my stuff had before I switched to mostly wireless charging.
