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.
It’s also not necessarily that simple. You need space to route the wires for the port… You could potentially do it, but you might not have space for cameras or speakers, for instance. I suspect something like this wouldn’t work for iPhones with Face ID for instance (though maybe you could push the port to the side a bit). It’s probably not worth the compromises for most people, especially since, let’s be honest, USB-C and lightning both suck for headphones anyway. It’s just not a good enough connection in my experience.
just make a phone with no camera and more ports. two USB C, one 3.5 jack, a decent internal DAC.
