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

    To quote the original writer of the post above, in the thread which continues from it:

    And phones were sturdier because they were thicker because they had a headphone jack.

    If you prefer bluetooth, I hope you know that bluetooth still works on devices that have headphone jacks.

    If you’re saying it’s good that they got rid of the headphone jack, you’re telling me good that we have one option instead of two.

      I don’t want my phone to be thicker, and I don’t care for having something in my phone I don’t use now. Just like I dint care about having serial ports or VGA ports on my new TVs.
