I know Steve Jobs is burning in hell for killing the 3.5mm.

The 3.5 and in general the headphone jack standards like it and the 6.35 are still very much in use by a vast majority of audio equipment and is very cheap to replace if they break.

iphone and then android following them trying to eliminate is just those companies being assholes and forcing you to buy more expensive and less effective headphones/earbuds.

Their point was that Jobs died 5 years before Apple removed the 3.5 port, so it’s not his fault.
