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.

I thought I'd miss not having a headphone jack but I don't. I don't miss getting the wires caught on things and yanking out of my ears.

People will always be very vocal about things like this but I'd bet the vast majority of people don't care. It's a bit like smaller phones, I'm firmly in the "I need a smaller phone" camp but it seems like the market doesn't want one and most people prefer the big phones we have today.

I would if I had one, I use a lightning adapter with wired headphones

I have an older car, and I use the aux cord and headphone jack every day.

Here you go, wired headphone problem solved.

USB C to 3.5mm Jack: https://a.co/d/hgfC312

Current phone: Never, because it doesn't have one.

Last phone: Also never, because I had decent Bluetooth headphones.

Phone before that: All the time, but broke several sets of earbuds from snagging on things and getting frayed.

Genuinely can't be arsed to wear a piece of wire down my clothes like I'm a small child with some fucking mittens on a string. Could not give two fucks about the 3.5mm jack dying out.

Curious why mods don't remove posts like this? Seems like some cleanup is needed on this Com.
