    Yeah, bluetooth is great. And yet I hear more and more people in public blasting their speakerphones to play music, YouTube, tiktok, facetime, calls... Maybe it's because a lot of people don't have $180 for airpods, or because they're easily lost, or because they only hold so much power before they need to be recharged.

    A lot of bad etiquette could be prevented by giving people the option to use $10 wired earbuds, but I guess that isn't Apple's or Samsung's problem. 

    And yeah, thinner phones are great, too... for an entire industry selling thick protective cases.

    Don’t miss out if ya can still hear 20k. Stay wired. Allows volume lower to preserve hearing.

    My son is autistic. He can’t wear earbuds. So, Apple has decided to disenfranchise an entire class of people to save a little room. How sad.
