Buy a usbc dac for everything you have with that plug from 1975. Join us in the modern world.
But that steals a port used for charging :/
I thought I didn't mind when I bought my phone that doesn't have it at first, but it really sucks having to reach for a dongle when I want to use my good headphones on the phone. If USB-C is really so superior for audio, then that would be a good argument to make 2 USB-C ports, don't you think?
Yet barely any manufacturer does it, I only ever saw it on some niche gaming phones. Even if they did that, the jack still has a place IMO, because it's still so ubiquitous even newer midrange headphone releases use it
Work phone doesn't have a 3.5mm jack, it's a lot more annoying than I expected it to be.
I think I would be sufficiently mollified if phones that remove the headphone jack had a USB-C port on the top and bottom. I'd still be annoyed but I'll be like okay they're trying to make the experience better
Exactly! Right now it's just trend and cost cutting
And pushing their bluetooth earbud sales, its a consumable!
The fact it's that old literally only proves how reliable and effective it is. I don't want to throw away a good solution for a worse solution just because somebody is trying to paint the worse solution as the future.
