The poll/voting process is flawed & I don’t like that.

That said, idk, I’m a blue collar working adult & the aux/wired connection isn’t a necessity in my daily life. I can often, if not always, blast my music on an Ion loudspeaker. Car has Bluetooth. Home, I’ve got Bluetooth.

But that’s just not the point for me; my phone has an aux port & I rarely use it. Used it to connect headphones on a walk last week. It’s nice & I like having the option. Getting rid of it was purely an anti-consumer move, so needless, and obviously they can build it into the phones without detracting from battery or taking away from water resistance. Everything I’ve heard justifying removing aux is either a lie or an excuse.
