I got a really good quality BT headphones, and in a vacuum they're equivalent to wire, but not only is having to charge my headphones seriously lame but there's a few places on the walk from my house to the store where the connection between them and my phone gets really bad and they basically become unusable for about ten minutes. Also, the connection lags out every time I turn my phone on or off or adjust the volume. Also the first second or so of every song gets cut off on BT. Fuck Bluetooth, it's a fucking garbage standard that's beaten by wire in every single possible way.
fuck I sstill wish slideout keyboards were a thing. Maybe I'm just of an older generation, but I could touchtype on those while walking and not have to look down at the phone, If I try to do that with a modern phone watjirever ikmk trhpoing usujallkty ernds uhoip lioke thios
I started using Motorola phones for this reason. They are one of the few that have said they plan to keep using them. I like their "one" series. They have massive batteries in some of them too. I only charge my phone once every 2 days and that's just to keep it above 40%. Could probably go 3 days and be ok.
Innovation is when you needlessly create things so the outdated products get thrown into the trash and then end up in everything you eat, including that rain drop or snowflake that accidentally fell in your mouth while out walking.
USB-C is the new standard though. Phasing out the 3.5mm one is inevitable because USB-C is far more useful and also supports the same analog audio that 3.5mm does.

New innovation: no buttons, no ports, no screen.
No phone, you just give apple, samsung, or Google $1000 dollars and they stamp your forehead.

new inkless stamp!
just a blank circle sticker. its not biodegradeable, it just stops being sticky.
they start selling sticker-sticker packs to restick your fav sticker to your forehead, adopting the ink cartridge business model.

I bought a Huawei phone and it's been great, has a headphone jack, affordable. Got one for my mom too been almost a year now.

I use my headphone jack for several hours a day pretty much every day. I will never buy a phone without a headphone jack
I have a feeling that eventually I won't have the option to buy a phone with a headphone jack.

I dunno, I got some lightning-port noise-cancelling earbuds from Meh for $40 and they're pretty neat. No batteries.
But fuck this no-port nonsense.
