Meh, I hate cords, so I've been using bluetooth headphones for years. Just a matter of finding good quality ones. I do think it's dumb to get rid of the headphone jack though. The waterproofing I think they could overcome, and it's not like they could get rid of the DAC processor. It's about space inside the case and thinness, but I think a thicker phone without a dumb camera bump and with outrageously long battery life would be more impressive, IMO.
