It was totally uncool to remove the headphone jack from my device, man.
I doubt you'll find anyone here that disagrees with you. I was going to get an older pixel but I got a 6 instead and I'm still grieving the loss of my headphone jack.
At least we can get USB-C headphones and use the charging port as a headphone jack.
But then you canβt charge at the same time, no good if you want to plug your phone into some speakers and charge it at the same time
Wireless charging?
My take: cables are a sustainable, effective and ELEGANT solution. Most wireless solutions fall under the definition of over-engineering.
Cable: a properly lengthened cheap rope that magically transfers information, power and anchor stuff together.
Wireless: two antenna, encoding of all kind, radiations, BATTERIES, higher chance to lose stuff, degrading of quality (Bluetooth).
Inefficient, over priced, less reliable
