But of course we all know that the big manufacturers don’t do this not because they can’t but because they don’t want to. Planned obsolescence is still very much the name of the game, despite all the bullshit they spout about sustainability.

    I can’t change my phone while using the adapter

    Why should I need an adapter for something that used to come standard?

    The same reason you needed a new charging cable every time the USB standard changes: because technology standards change over time.

    If anything, audio adapters have been a thing for decades longer than cell phones have existed. This is not a new development at all.

    What about a micro-SD card?

    My phone has an completely excessive 512GB of storage, and I can use USB drives (including micro SD adapters) if I really want to save something to external storage.
