On a recent post, there were a lot of comments, which said that they were missing the headphones on newer mobile devices.

How many actually use the headphone jack?

I ask, because I have one on my phone, since I really wanted one, but I rarely use it. Like Tops 1/Month.

If my current phone had one, I would use it daily. Unfortunately it doesn't, so I moved to bluetooth headset. This means charging regularly, (very) occasional drop in connection in crowded space. The only alternative is an USB C adapter I could use, but then I'd have to unplug/replug it everytime I want to charge my phone.

I will look for a phone with a jack for my next one, but if the current trend keep going it might not be an option (not an affordable one).
