I put the wire down my shirt or coat. Doesn't get in the way at all.
Never have to charge- that is so important to me because I definitely don't want anything else to have to charge. I hate smartwatches for the same reason (and because I don't like wearing watches.)
And lastly, port doesn't have to be omitted. Xiamoi or whoever had a razor thin phone with a jack- no issues with space. Also, companies had IP68 or whatever ratings with headphone jacks before.
You're not gonna convince us. We know what we like and we know there is zero reason that the jack can't be put in. It wouldn't preclude people like yourself from using BT all the same but would afford us a simple time-worn and battle tested way of listening to music the way we like that clearly has upsides to only having BT available.
Time-worn and battle tested? Jacks and ports break constantly, wires fray constantly.
You say it's because you like the wires themselves. That's fine. I like using hand tools, but I don't pretend that they are more convenient than power tools.
You pretending that pulling constantly degrading wires and components in and out of your clothes multiple times a day is more convenient than a single plug once every couple of days is absurd and obviously incorrect.
Oh OK. Another person who has it all figured out. Sorry i wasted my time. Have a good day.
You don't have to apologize for wasting your time, just make valid arguments.
You like wires on principal because they're cool? That's great and perfectly fair.
If you want to assert that wires are somehow more convenient than BT, you'll have to show your work.
