Some technology fades away, some doesn't. Analog headphones have been
with us for over a hundred years.

long overdue to be replaced.

Technology that is simple, effective,
and just works, sticks around. My GUESS is that since most all current
devices including (gasp) some Apple devices have an analog headphone
jack, your changeover just may take a wee bit longer than you think.

technology moves fast and it ain't just apple.

already there are numerous android phones with a digital headphone jack.

a 100 year old standard isn't going to disappear overnight.

My wired headphones last forever. No headphone charge ever
needed...

you have to charge your phone a lot more...

Maybe I could actually charge my phone a lot LESS since I can leave the
Bluetooth radio OFF when using a WIRED headphone.

bluetooth uses a negligible amount of power, so it doesn't matter if
it's on or off.

listening to music and certainly having the display on will use a *lot*
more power than bluetooth, plus turning it off prevents a lot of other
stuff from working.
