This, and parents' comment, is pretty much the archetype of misunderstanding the point being made by tfa and other 'I want the headphone port back' argument.

We all understand some people are happy without a headphone jack.

That's fine.

You guys can use a headphone jacked phone with low quality Bluetooth audio just fine, but we can't use a non headphone jacked phone at all -- hence the feeling of brutally enforced unfairness.
