It’s not nonsensical. I need a headphone jack to connect my phone to my car. It doesn’t have Bluetooth and Bluetooth sucks anyway. Which is why I also prefer my wired headphones when I’m not in my car. Combined those two things are at least 50% of what I use my phone for. It’s a simple thing to ask for and before anyone suggests it, those dongles suck.
I am using dongles on my 10 year old car and it never failed me once, there are even Bluetooth dongles. You could keep a dongle dedicated for your car and just use that. My sister replaced her car stereo with an Android Auto compatible display and it works great. I don’t disagree that removing the jack as a dumb idea. But you’re giving crap to a company that does 90% great in the hardware department. I’m giving FP a pass and overlook this.
