Lightning and USB-C adapters have been a thing since that change was made if not before. Even assuming the one time cost of $10 for Apple’s adapter was too rich for your blood, you can get a 5 pack on Amazon for $8. And that’s before you get k to the usb headphones out there.

No one, absolutely no one was “forced” to buy wireless headphones.

I understand why some people get annoyed, but my jeans no longer get a phone bulge pattern worn into them and my headphone cords don't try to strangle me at the gym. For me these were both great innovations.

The 3.5mm headphone jack adapter is $9. How are they forcing people to buy wireless ones?
