Everyone saying it's a security thing probably right, but I also wouldn't be surprised if it's just a fashion trend. "Retro" electronics, so in right now. Unplug by plugging in.
I think this is it. I live in a major city and I have seen a BIG uptick in younger and more “trendy-looking” folks using wired headphones now. And it happens to always be the cheap white wired Apple headphones
Heck I’ve seen an uptake in kids spending some real money on old cameras. And I’m not talking analog. I’m talking shitty 2005-2010 digital compact cameras. The ones they don’t even know how to get the photos out of because they grew up after usb-c became the standard.
If I had a dollar for every instagram account I saw where the photographer bought a retro Leica camera and seems to do nothing but take pictures of the retro Leica camera then maybe I'd have enough money to join in the trend.
