We used to have earbuds that don't need to be charged because they had a headphone jack, didn't get lost so easily because they had a cord attached to a headphone jack, never lost the bluetooth connection because they had a headphone jack, and they cost less because they had a headphone jack. https://bsky.app/profile/daisyfm.bsky.social/post/3l3mfjc6sn62k

Really? You'd rather a headphone jack than something as incredible as the camera?

I am team headphone jack. But it's not as bad as people will say. You can get a USB-C to 3.5mm converter for like $5. Just attach it to your headphones and never remove it, as if its the same old cable.

You'd ditch your phone's camera just to not have to do what I just described?

I use wireless when it makes sense, like on the airplane, and I use wired when it makes sense, like on my exercise bike.

Not op, but I would also trade a camera for a headphone jack if there were no other option. It's because I take on average one picture a month whereas I listen to dozens of hours of music in that same time period. So I guess we all have different priorities, and it would be nice if phone manufacturers didn't force unnecessary change on us.

100%. I use the camera probably once every three to four months while I'm using my headphones through my phone at least a couple hours a day. I'd be much happier just using a dedicated camera when I needed it than either fuck around with an adapter or be locked to wireless headphones .
