When Apple ditched the headphone jacks on iPhones in 2016, I went into exile. I wasn’t about to let a giant company dictate my listening habits, so I bought an Android and plugged in for dear life. But eventually, my phone took its last breath in the same exact month that Google – one of the last holdouts – said it was getting rid of headphone jacks on its phones too. It felt like a cosmic sign of defeat. So I went back to iPhone, tossed my wired earbuds in a drawer and joined the Bluetooth hordes.
