No one has taken away anything. Your current phone still has a headphone jack. Stop acting like somebody took something away from you.

In the age of mass production, you get what they make. Custom items of the same price & quality as those mass produced are often/usually prohibitively expensive. If they stop making what you want, you stop being able to get it. So what's Parent going to do when his current phone dies?

Buy virtually any other phone, if it's that important to them?

My current phone is rapidly disintegrating. If I had the time, I could argue that the current method of production and rapid obsolescence did, in fact, take both my current phone away, and my ability to easily transition to the new model being offered without having to rethink how I listen to music.
We’re not luddites. We’re not short sighted. We understand tech moves on. That’s all fine and also irrelevant, because the situation here is that real tech used be lots of people every day with no real replacement is being yanked out from under us in the name of profit. Stop acting like you’re woke and the rest of us just need to catch up. It’s insulting as hell.
