/g/ this is important
The reason companies are starting to remove headphone jacks isnt to be more slim or innovative or anything like that. Its the same reason even the shittiest laptops have webcams/mics now- it makes it easier for (((them))) to spy on us.

Having headphones without a mic plugged into your phone will typically disable your phones built in microphone. This is a problem for (((them))) becauae many people, knowingly or not, are preventing themselves from having their audio/conversations recorded and spied on. This is the smartest way (((they))) can solve this problem without revealing that they are trying to keep the built in mic enabled 24/7. They know that if they pay off the main companies to make this switch, other smaller companies will follow in time. In 10-15 years the average consumer will be using wireless headphones not because they chose them, but because they are now standard. We dont choose the webcams/mics built into our laptops, they are now standard. The average person didnt choose (knowingly) to be spied on by the botnet, but it is now standard.
