I agree. The issue is, as a longtime iPhone user, I'm being forced into a no-headphone-jack phone. I need to get a new phone in the next month or so, and my major options are:

1. iphone SE - seems great, but given its internals are 6S, it will be updated into slow performance sooner than my other options. 2. iphone SE 2 - rumored to come out in the next 4-6 months, but who's to say it will have a headphone jack? 3. iphone 7/8/X - dongle land 4. Switch to android - apart from standard friction of using a new OS (probably not a very big deal), I may need to re-buy a number of apps. And the one android phone I was counting on, the Pixel 2, now also doesn't have a headphone jack. Thanks google.

I'm actually tempted to just buy an android phone by Blu or something; this overpriced hardware seemed almost worth it when it was at least not taking away features that I use everyday.

Is that the best version of not rolling over and taking it? Ugh. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate them.
