You're a little thick aren't you? There is a pretty big demand for phones with 3.5mm jacks and there are manufacturers that will continue to provide a supply for that demand. He's voting with his wallet which is what we should all be doing. Galaxy S10 has a port, so he's buying that because it fits his needs. If the next iteration removes the port, he might choose to go with LG or Motorola, thus voting with his wallet -- enough people do that and bigger manufactures realize the demand for it was more than they realized and they backtrack and add it in their next one -- this is how the relationship between supply and demand and consumers and manufacturers work. Dongles are definitely not the future - they are a temporary solution for a temporary problem that has just been created. It will be solved, whether by going back to 3.5 or by having some other new easier connection that gets invented that doesn't require the use of dongles. Dongles are a bandaid and they definitely are not the future.
