This is in response to a Twitter post, because I needed more than 140 characters.

This is one of those subjects that people feel strongly about on both sides. For me:

  • I have never had a good experience with Bluetooth headphones;

  • An extra expense is an extra expense;

  • I'm one of those people who charges and uses headphones at the same time, practically every day;

  • I'm very glad my 6S will be good for the foreseeable future

I also think a lot of tech geeks are people with disposable income, and they can't relate to people who have budgetary concerns. A person might stretch to make their monthly payment on an iPhone, but not be able to find the cash for extras. This is what the article1 describes, and since I do know people in that situation, I'm not prepared to discount it as a bad article.
