Alt: A Captcha with an image of Trump holding the upsidedown bible in front of a church, the legend reads "select all square with A Nazi who gassed a church," and the button reads, "tell the NY Times not to be a little bitch"
i really don't want to have to carry one more piece of junk, and while USB C is way better than alternatives, bending the dongle in your pocket while it is attached to the phone is a scary thought, wired earbuds make a hard right turn right out of the socket. The socket does fill with lint, I kind of get it that removing reduces loss of the phone from water damage or related assembly costs to making the socket not-a-water-vector
if you need to have a phone to fill out a job application then the whole thing needs to be available to someone at the poverty level and wireless earbuds are not a survival item, listening to music or speaking quietly is a pretty basic thing someone who can afford earphones in the four to nine dollar range should be able to attain
