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
That's because getting a headphone jack is lower in the list of priorities than, say, having a great camera. If I could get my current phone in a version having a headphone jack, believe me that I would. I just wasn't prepared to compromise my camera quality for it.
