While I understand that others have different priorities with phones, I’ve never quite understood why Lemmy is so enraged by the absence of a headphone jack…

I prefer wireless headphones. When I had wired headphones I used to regularly yank my phone off the counter when cooking, or try to walk away from my desk while tethered by a cord.

If I did ever need to use wired headphones, using an adapter isn’t that big a deal to me. Although I’d probably have to use a magnetic adaptor so that when I inevitably forget that I’m connected to it and walk away, my phone/entire desktop doesn’t come with me.

I prefer wired headphones (perhaps after bad experiences with infrared headphones), and used to only want phones with headphone jacks…

But the latest one I got doesn’t have one, so I had to buy an adapter. Honestly, it doesn’t seem a big deal now I have it? I can keep the adapter in the same case I keep my earbuds in, and they’re decently cheap.
