Stop trying to kill the headphone jack
&gt;It isn’t a forward-thinking move like Apple’s decision to kill off the floppy disk, because no one’s playing along.<p>In an article about how too many phone manufacturers are removing the headphone jack? A lot of people are playing along. The market for bluetooth headphones has blown up, covering a range of prices and form factors - it&#x27;s absurd and perhaps wishful thinking to say this isn&#x27;t a real trend. I also don&#x27;t believe there are no benefits to the manufacturing process.<p>I predict this article will feel very outdated in a couple years. I was very skeptical of the removal of the headphone jack, but six months ago I tried out a bluetooth headset, and I would never go back. It&#x27;s easier and doesn&#x27;t snag, and is easier to put away. This isn&#x27;t to say everyone should get rid of the headphone jack, but I don&#x27;t see why manufacturers shouldn&#x27;t be able to.
