Apple customers have a choice. Which is why I'm typing this from my brand new Galaxy instead of an iPhone.

I could suffer android, or like you know I could plug in the 3 cm converter onto my 20cm cord when my can’t find my airpods.

Dongles are never the best answer. Either bulky and akward, or tiny and lost/broken. It would take a bit less than 3cm to just add the extra chip and jack.

You have a massive wire attached to your headphones already...

Assuming that you can find the adapter...

Or you can use the bundled headphones. Why not keep the adapter attached to your headphones?

I have many different pairs of headphones. A car stereo system. A home stereo system. Occasionally, I hook up to FOH mixers.

Analog line level audio is a ubiquitous standard.

Maybe you use your headphones with more than just one device?

I plug my phone into my truck every morning on my way to work.

Even my cheap car has both Bluetooth for audio and a USB port that supports the "iPod protocol" for playing audio via USB.

Your newer car.

Some of us have old cars that we see no need to upgrade.
