"...Some people can only afford $20 headphones"

Have you seen the prices on Apple devices?




The main complaint is that manufacturers of budget phones are following suit, but damaging themselves in the process because they're misguided about what their users really want. Having android phones with 3.5/2.5mm jacks would keep the analogue headphone industry alive, but if the whole industry moves to bluetooth only headphones, we're worse off for it overall.


The iPhone SE has a headphone jack, and is affordable. A great little phone.

Now Apple is killing it.
