I have only ever bought phones with a 3.5mm jack. I have expensive Sony headphones I use for music and would hate having that option taken away from me. That’s why Fairphone is still a miss for me right now.

All of my Bluetooth experiences from headphones to Alexa have been more of a nuisance than a convenience, often not pairing, finding it difficult to unpair to pair another device, not fonding devices literally centimetres away, draining phone battery faster, short bluetooth device lifespan, recharging requirements, sound quality, and price points all going against them. I have seen people unironically suggest adding a wire to the Bluetooth headphones so you could charge them from your phone while listening to music. Bluetooth isn’t good enough to supercede wires.

Usb C converter is not the same as plain wored connectivity, it solves a problem no-one asked for. Anyone who doesn’t want a smashed screen has a chunky case so phone thinness doesn’t matter. I just want all of my tech to work with each other universally. We used to have the choice of both and say returning to this MO will make everyone happy.
