For the crazy people like me who won't let it go
nah, it's crazy that phone designers let it go
It's not us who are crazy!
It's not crazy to want to keep using your excellent wired headphones and not rely on battery powered bullshit
I have a pair of Etymotics that i have had for 20 years, ficks no 3.5mm jack. Have a Nokia phone I use that has uSD and earphone jack.
My daily driver is a Poco F2 Pro which has the jack port.
My car is old and I still wire it to the speakers for using Spotify and such, my gf has to use the adapter thingy for her iPhone and she can't charge and play music at the same time, I can do that without an issue.
Too bad companies keep getting rid of ports.
A fellow F2 Pro owner here. I don't have use for the aux port that often, but whenever I do, it's great! Older cars, mixers, etc, everything is just plug and play like it should be.
However the notorious charging port ribbon cable seems to have broken again and this might be some of the last things I write with the phone :(
Yeah, that is one annoying issue for sure.
It happened to mine as well, what I did year (years?) ago, was to use a tiny piece of electric tape in the flex to make pressure and make it to recognize the charger as well...
Still working fine after that.
If your device stops recognizing data I think it is game over though.
Bluetooth audio is terrible. And 2.4 GHz doesn't seem to be very common.
