in any of your alls fantasies have you considered that people will just leave the dongle attached to the headphones making it basically still one cord, or do you all just imagine that every time somebody finishes listening to music they unplug the dongle, then unplug the headphone from the dongle and then put them in two separate places?

oh yes, even better, add some extra weight and a big chunk of plastic to the end of the headphone cable. now it's a triple-ended bolo. no way will this be at all inconvenient to untangle

I like how they made the screen glass softer in the newest models. It's cool how the surfaces of my 3gs/4s/5s screens are crystal-like with few localized flaws under reflected light despite being kept in pockets with keys and dropped numerous times and without cases, while my 6s has thousands of tiny pits and scratches distributed all over the screen, despite being less than 6 months old (replacement because of first one having screen issues) and never having been dropped and I'm much more careful about putting it in my pocket with other things and having an Apple case because the phone is too thin to hold comfortably.

excellent analysis when you completely ignore that bluetooth audio is a thing that exists and works, most cars for the last 5 years have a usb input that supports iphones, and you're going to get a dongle to support 3.5mm when on the go

bluetooth audio is objectively less convenient and functional than a loving audio jack

considering people accept and pay for the shitass audio quality of satellite radio bluetooth streaming is more than acceptable for the vast majority of users and wireless is preferable. and again, dongle it. your use case is covered.

Why aren't any of these AIDS people capable of providing a single reason as to why bluetooth or extra adaptors improve the product? Bluetooth pairing is dodgy at best and always will be. Not even Apple can make bluetooth work reliably across their own products in ideal conditions without interference today with their latest products. Airdropping a pic from your brand new iPhone to your band new Macbook often requires toggling BT on/off on both devices several times today on July 29. Meanwhile a solution already exists that will always be nearly perfectly reliable.
