This is why I only buy phones that still have the headphone jack (even if they are an endangered species)
because some dont get security and feature/bug updates. for that i recommendeed simply to install something like e/os as an operating system (OS). It sometimes still support 10+ year old phones and likely continue to support them for a while. The tech started to get so good that old phones are good enough so refurbishing them with another OS and not to trash them like profit focused companies want.
Just buy a usb c adapter when they become extinct... I've used mine way more then I expected
I use a usbc audio charger splitter and my phone came with usbc earbuds that are indestructible.
inb4 phones remove charging ports
Is it that difficult to get a phone with a headphone jack nowadays tho?
What will people want to mod the Android phone if the port didn't exist?
I'd be ok with no 3.5mm, but Christ on a cracker give me two USBC ports then...I want to charge and listen to music.
It depends. Ironically, cheaper phones are more likely to still have headphone jacks. Pretty much most entry level phones have headphone jacks, but they suck in literally every other way...
I bought my current phone for about 100 euros over a year ago, and it works just as well as my previous one which was much more expensive. Also has headphone jack.
