I'll agree the courage statement was a bit silly and me laugh when I watched it go down. I for one am totally ok with the headphone jack going away. I have wireless headphones and I have wired headphones I'll make it work. More often than not the wired headphones become the hassle, whether it's tangled cords or just keeping them out of the way. I'm sure there are plenty of people who use wired headphones every day but there are also plenty of people who just have this unused hole in their phone. The earpods look great but are a bit steep for me. The way they pair looks great. It's definitely an Apple product, looks nice and is convenient (and perhaps a bit pricey but not ludicrously so). Also the battery life is great (when compared to similar independent wireless earbuds) and that case is an awesome way to charge/not lose them.

Apple it obviously trying to go to wireless everything and removing cables. Now they need to make wireless charging happen. If I could set my phone down on my desk and charge it and never again have to plug something in again, that would be great.
