    Right. Much easier to replace an adapter than a built in 3.5mm jack.

      Much harder to replace the built-in USB-C port and you also lose a lot of other features of the phone (such as… ya know… charging) in the meanwhile.

      Really, AI has brought people intellects that low, even here on Lemmy?

        Wireless charging doesnt use up a port. What AI is involved with my responses?

            Um, so FYI there are multiple ways to charge some phones. Some can do wireless charging plus let the usb-c port use a 3.5mm adapter for a headset. Its a pretty decent solution.

      How often you needed to replace 3.5mm female socket? I don’t think I ever encountered that (if there were issues it was always with the cable), but had to replace USB female socket several times.

          Interesting, experience was that those were quite durable: 3 connections and then the port soldered into the board.

          Any issues I seen were with the headphone cable and the jack.

          I had a lot of issues with USB especially micro USB that just worn down after use even when your were careful. And because it is using digital protocol I had to remove and insert jack again until it clicks.

          I have this problem with USB C on my work’s Mac.
