I think phones have generally taken over MP3 players because you can do everything an MP3 player does on your phone.

But I recently bought one because I just like a single device having that unique purpose of playing music.

    Having to choose between audio output or power delivery isn’t the choice users should be faced with. 3.5 mm jack has been long-lived standard for a reason & it doesn’t take up meaningful physical space. Removal was to sell matching bluetooth earbuds whose batteries die & aren’t repairable so you’ll come back to consume a new set every couple of years.
