      How does it being 2024 justify not having a headphone jack. Most other phones competing with the phone 1 do have a headphone jack fyi.

        Because smart people started switching to Bluetooth back in the mid 2000-s. Because wires suck big time. It’s 2024 now, there’s absolutely no reason to use wired headphones.

      As a person who’s been using Bluetooth headphones almost exclusively for the last 5 years, 99% of them fucking suck regardless of the price range

        I’ve had a pretty good experience with them, personally, but mine are a relatively expensive pair

        But for wired headphones, usb-c headphones seem to be the modern de facto standard

          I know this is true, but it’s dumb as hell. The difference in thickness between a usb-c port and headphone jack is millimeters, and a good pair of wired headphones is still a good pair decades later. No need to upgrade the connector unless you’re making money off selling usb-c headphones.

          It’s not like it hurts bluetooth users to have a headphone jack they won’t use.
