I didn’t even realize Qualcomm removed the built in FM radio from their chips. Huh.

            I like 1/8" jacks too, but active noise cancellation – which is pretty impressive, honestly – legitimately needed a source of power, and there was no standard way of providing that over that interface.

            You can get both USB-C or Bluetooth adapters for a 1/8" headphone set to run an existing pair. I’ll concede that it’s a bit more bulk to carry, but one can continue to use 1/8" headphones with phones.

              Wired active noise cancelation headphones exist, you know. They have batteries, which are a perfectly legitimate source of power.
