No, i hate cables and if i really Need cable aux i have an usb-c to aux adpter.
I won't buy a phone without it. Currently on a Pixel 5a 5g
Have only bought phones that have a headphone jack. Never ones that dont.
My phone (Pixel 7) does not have one. On occasion I use a pair of wired USB-C headphones but only for media. I do not use headphones for calls. Bluetooth in the car for calls and YouTube Music.
I like wired. They always connect to the device I want it to connect to the first time.
I use my audio jack in my car. The car has Bluetooth but only supports calls, no support for music.
Another point to make is that people here are saying wireless headphones are just as good as wired ones nowadays, but I don't think that applies to cheap ones.
Nowadays I very rarely use headphones with my phone out in public, so I don't see much purpose in spending money on a good pair for myself. I bought a cheap set of wireless ones awhile ago and they're terrible. They always struggle to connect to my phone and they have abysmal range, it struggles if my phone is sitting next to me rather than in my hands. I find any pair of cheap wired headphones you can get from any corner shop or supermarket is way cheaper and much more reliable than most cheap wireless ones.
My phone (Pixel 6) doesn't have one but I wish it did. I still use an aux cord to listen in my car or to plug into my amplifier when I practice on headphones, so I have to use 3.5mm to USB-C converter dongles. I also can't charge my phone while using an aux cable now which is annoying.

My current phone does not have a headphone jack but I wish it did. It seems to struggle with Bluetooth sometimes, dropping connections randomly.
No, I really enjoy my shokz bone conduction headphones for general work calls, audiobooks, chores, running, etc. It's like I simply have the audio in my head.
They are Bluetooth and last all day, sometimes multiple if I'm not in meetings all day. They are waterproof, I can even swim with them.
Honestly running got me away from wired headphones the most
It's pretty rare that I use wired headphones, I prefer them wireless.
I'm told that wired headphones have higher range audio support, but it's not like the music I stream from Spotify would support that anyways...
Yes
My phone has a headphone jack and dual SIM cards but I would totally trade the jack for an SD Card slot.
Sometimes the second sim card slot can be used as an SD card slot, maybe yours can too?

Used it once to debug an audio problem, haven't used wired headphones since years
