We used to have earbuds that don't need to be charged because they had a headphone jack, didn't get lost so easily because they had a cord attached to a headphone jack, never lost the bluetooth connection because they had a headphone jack, and they cost less because they had a headphone jack. https://bsky.app/profile/daisyfm.bsky.social/post/3l3mfjc6sn62k

Waterproofing is very difficult with a headphone jack

Something I have heard in the past but is a headphone jack that much harder to waterproof vs a USB-C port? I'm genuinely curious because I don't know. It feels like the two would be of a similar difficulty.

Yeah, also Samsung made it work in the S active phones, and Nokia has started carrying the torch with their XR line. That's Def not the reason for them being removed.

I think most USB-C ports have sensors that allow them to turn off when wet. I'm not sure what the challenges are doing something like that with the headphone jack.

They don't even need to do that. Just blast music straight into the water. It's not like anyone would be listening anyway.
