because i can't use the same headphones for my phone and my computer

yeah this. also i have various other 3.5mm plugs for my home stereo, a radio in my bathroom while i shower, etc. now i am gonna have to replace all that with bluetube poo poo that works bad and maybe needs batteries or charging for no real benefit. count me out of the upgrade cycle for a few years until i get around to that. i only use bluetooth in my car and it kinda sucks imo.

swim proof apple watch might be nice for triathlon training though, going to look in to that.

why cant you use the adapter idgi

and why are you using 3.5mm plugs for your radio in your shower?

because dongles are gross, there is no benefit from replacing the lightning port with the dongle, it is an extra thing to carry around with the phone and lose or spend $29 on every 3.5mm jack around the house and leave them on the 3.5mm plug. no benefit.

and for the bathroom radio, because it is an fm radio on the counter with audio in in the back, plug in phone and listen to news podcasts, easy peasy. plug in the lightning cable and it is also all charged up after a post gym shower. now i'd have to bluetooth that or buy a dongle to charge at the same time, which sucks. standard connectors are good.

there are no headphones involved. do you understand that 3.5mm jacks in the back of radios exist? it is a 3.5mm to 3.5mm plug.

and that's $9 no one needs to spend because the 3.5mm jack is a standard.

a 3.5mm plug to 3.5mm plug is less complex than the same thing plus a useless dongle or bluetooth, c'mon you can't be serious.
