I'm not interested in solutions to problems I don't have. You just offer solutions in the form of buying more junk, while all I'm asking for is the return of the jack plug in every phone (and replaceable batteries and other components) so people have choices and can repair their own device. Also, the phone I once had didn't have a jack port and also didn't have wireless charging so your solution doesn't always work. And wireless charging is really slow. Max wattage is 15, while wired my current phone can handle 65 Watts.
Sounds like you’ve got it all figured out. Wonder why you take my choices so personally?
I wonder why you keep coming with solutions to a problem I made an issue of, but personally don't have.
It's like you're saying it's not a big deal because you don't have an issue with the removal of the aux plug, so others shouldn't make an issue out of it either, and you can buy more items to deal with it if you don't like it.
But the point I made is that it's pushed down our throats, focused on the consumer consuming more. And you come with options which consume more. So you're just proving my point.
