Going portless would be so bad in terms of ewaste. I still use wired headphones. I'm not about to bend the knee and buy some junky bluetooth cans that have degraded batteries in a year. My Sony MDRV6's have held up for 10 years now and still look and sound new, no reason to throw them away just because apple designers want to make a phone without the ability to connect a cable to it.

Bluetooth to 1/8” adapters are a thing.

Bluetooth audio ain't as good.

That’s less true today and won’t be true at all within the next year.

It's also a pain to pair something to each and every device you happen to switch it to. My blutooth mouse gives me trouble enough, I'd have thrown it away by now if such an action with an otherwise good mouse wasn't so wasteful.

Great, a new thing to buy and charge and watch the battery degrade that I didn't need until it was forced upon me
