    My last phone purchase went something like this:

    “What phones do you have with a headphone jack?”

    “Uh, I don’t think any. Maybe one? I’d have to look.”

    “I’ll take that one.”

    “But we–”

    “Only spec that matters is a headphone jack.”

    “There’s bluetoo–”

    “Headphone jack.”

      Gotta look for either a budget or non-major brand phone. I went with an Asus phone for my last upgrade (previous was an LG V60). Sony Xperia and some of the Chinese ‘gaming’ phones also have them.

        Yep a bottom of the barrel phone from a no-name brand will still have an audio jack…

        But the fucking Pixel line doesn’t. Pixels are the only real non-dogshit phone if you want a secure OS.

        Sometimes you have to choose between two important things.

            i love losing my little tiny dongle with a fragile little cable that I need to take off my phone to charge and need to take off my headphones to use them on other devices ♥️

                I have the slightly bigger green adapter that does charge and 3.5 jack and it’s 32 bit/384khz. And the two tips are magnetic so you can split it. It sounds great with my IEMs

                  Right? This — and literally nothing but this — is what all the outrage is about. Still, none of my business; everyone can buy whatever phones they want.

                    Yeah it sucks. Though the usb-c converters will actually work on anything with USB-C

                    cheap chinesium grade dac that i have to take off my phone every time so putting it in my pocket doesn’t snap off the usbc port mounted with cheap chinesium grade plastic??

      Last time I went to look at phones I told them I want something without any AI. He said you won’t find anything, so I left and bought a pixel online to wipe and run a privacy OS on.
