MODERATORS
They also sell headphone to USB cable. I'm not saying the lack of a headphone jack is good but if their goal was really to sell wireless earbuds then selling a USB to headphone cable was a bad move, no?
As Louis Rossmann also said, using a single port for both charging/moving data and listening music increases the wear on the port. They're just made to wear down faster with the absence of the audio jack port.
Plus it's impractical, as it occupies the type c port.
What’s the lifetime of those ports you think?
When you plug in in to charge, the device is at rest. When you plug in headphones, there’s a high chance it is in a pocket or otherwise in a state where the device is moving which will be a lot more wear than just idling charging.
Wow - would never have considered that! Great insight.
