Comment on How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone?

  I don’t think the cost is the problem, as a usb-c port can be had for less than 3$ for an Individual. I think its more that manufacturers don’t think this is something most people want and therefore doesn’t make sense for them to offer.

    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.
