What they did with the wireless earbuds is amazing. User replaceable batteries on an earbud is something I hadn't seen before. And definitely kudos to them for doing that.

But skipping on the audio jack, which could have saved so much e waste too, was such a bad take.

They did the earbuds because they can charge you 100€ for them, and then you're essentially locked to their battery subscription for when the batteries eventually fail every year. It was just a coincidence that they had just removed the audio jack before releasing them.
