    The least we could do for taking away the headphone jack is give them billions of dollars as a reward. I mean, this is Apple after all, they deserve it.

    Welp. I guess that makes sense. They have a much broader audience and utility than a gaming console. Probably higher margins too.

      Nintendo also hasn’t released a new console and the only notable first party game I recall is Super Mario Wonder, but I think that was released in 2023.

    Not surprising given that they’re designed to get lost or broken in less than a year. It’s almost like they need something to keep them from falling onto the ground when they slip out of your ear. Some kind of tether, linking them to each other and a larger, harder to lose object. If only some such device could be invented, it would solve the problem. Alas, I guess we’ll just have to learn to live with the problem.

      I think you need to find a different ear tip my dude. Unless I’m doing something extreme I’ve never had them just fall out. I’ve had 30+ seconds of warning that they’re slipping out of my ear before they’d fall out, but almost never just “whoops I’m free”.

      You’d better watch out, people get very upset when you point out flaws in the products they invest in. For many, this is their entire identity.
