Or alternatively, you could just not fall for Apple's bullshit marketing and not buy those stupid things.
Or the phone for that matter. They claim it was to "improve the water resistance" of the phone. I call bullshit on that. 100% diarrhea bullshit. If they have to eliminate a port to waterproof or make it water resistant, they aren't trying hard enough.
Bottom line: They just want you to buy more of their overpriced and underperforming shit.
Did they actually say that, to improve water resistance? It's not like the headphone port is an actual opening into the inside of the phone, they can seal it just fine.
I accidentally put my EarPods through the wash and they still work perfectly... I thought that bode well for the rest of the phone... though I won't risk the same experiment
