Re: why all the fuss over a headphone socket?
Exactly I use both as well, Bluetooth in the gym, wired for Radio 4 whilst walking (I'm a Luddite for having the audacity to use broadcast FM radio rather than stream my radio between the black spots of coverage you find, well, pretty much everywhere)... enforced feature removals overtime for little more than the satisfaction of a design team, or the following of a relatively small but vocal group of self elected thought leaders is quite arrogant.
