(Posting this here rather than [email protected] as it’s a quite general question)

I had a look at the GSM Arena phone finder, and it the choice is getting smaller and smaller every year (only 43 phones from 2023, reviewed by the site, had a jack)

The remaining ones are mostly

  • Xiaomi Redmi
  • Zenfones
  • Sony
  • Samsung entry range

So, has everyone switched to Bluetooth / USB-C dongles, or are there still a few people holding to the jack until the very end?

    The main thing for me is simply that the audio connector doesn’t pull out nearly as easily as USB-c. Secondary is the fact that I prefer things that don’t need to be charged.

    I use wireless buds at work, but whenever I’m home, I prefer to use wired headphones. It’s definitely a different strokes for different folks situation.
