    I still refuse to buy smartphones without a headphone jack either.

    I’m running out of options and I may have to consider a jackless phone next. What are the options?

      I went with Samsung XCover 6 Pro. Not only has it a headphone jack but a removable battery as well.

      If you truly must use your wired headphones with your cell phone? They make some really nice small form factor USB C to audio jack adapters. Hell, saw a few that were cable+adapter+AudiophileApprovedDAC for what that is worth.

        Those jacks can’t turn and aren’t strong enough for work. I’m going to turn around quickly, snag a cable and - well, those ports are so dense that I don’t need to really do a lot of damage, do I?

        While I’d normally completely approve of the blatant rip-off that is buying a c$20 adapter to make up for the manufacturer omitting a 3c part on the build, their answer “oh we know the startac was a thing but we just cant figure out how to fit a headphone jack on something twice the size” rings a little hollow. It’s like they’re admitting to stupid.
