    Probably not a popular thing to say on here, but I think you’ve lost the battle for the earphone jack. It probably just requires way too much real estate to be practical on a modern day cell phone.

      It absolutely does not. That’s just the stupid propaganda companies distribute to make people buy wireless earbuds.

      It absolutely does not require too much space. And you can still buy phones with headphone jacks, just not any of the (ironically) higher end models because OEMs know they can push their first party bluetooth headphones to these customers.

      Exactly this, that’s a lot of space taken up to connect what 4 analog wires?

      That’s insanity when a AUX to Usb-C converter does the job

        USB-C requires a lot of space for charging, data transfer etc.

        Let’s remove it too and make phones rely on wireless charging instead.
