The Apple way to solve that is: you pay them a $159.00 wire removal fee, they will eliminate the wire part of your headphones.

So we pay a ton of money for good headphones. Invest in high quality audio services. Then buy a new phone, are forced to buy shitty ear pods that pipe audio via a lossy audio codec.

Or you can use wireless charging which leaves the lightning connector free.

I guess with wireless charging you can now do so.

Guess that settles that debate then, glad we can put that to rest going forward. (...I realise this sounds weirdly sarcastic?, but it's actually not)

"Paired with wireless earphones, you don't need a headphone jack or a charging port"

(facepalm)

Exactly, awesome right? I would love a future without ANY cables.
