At this time, the 3.5mm jack is top with 27%
It always surprises me that so many people still want this. I know it's representative of the anti-choice homogenisation of phones in general, but something like removable batteries or expandable storage seems so much more important than a dedicated old headphone connector.
I personally hate how annoying headphone wires are, but even if you like them then is it so inconvenient to leave an adapter connected to your headphones? And a splitter as well if you're desperate to charge simultaneously?
USB-C ports get damaged over time by excessive unplug/replug in that use case
There's a reason it's still the top requested feature in the poll.
More so than they would from charging?
I charge my phone once a day.
I use my jack 3-4 times a day on average.
Fair enough, though would you be happy if there were significant improvements made to usb-c port build quality?
Audio jack is still better, as someone else said in another comment: https://feddit.uk/post/33629763/19026566
It is inconvenient to leave an adapter connected to my headphones, because I want to use the same pair of headphones for my tablet, computer, and Switch, all of which have a real headphone jack. I also need to buy an extra adapter for the aux cable in the car and constantly have to debug if it is the audio cable or adapter that is going bad.
