Super annoying because all the earlier smart phones did have all that, even early Android. The OSes just keep getting more dumbed down and locked down to the point that I went from a phone enthusiast to despising all smart phones.

Not only that but the physical phones themselves are dumping features while charging the same or often increased prices...

My current phones literally being held together with tape but wanting a current phone with an SD card and headphone jack has seriously limited my options.

I am right there with you. My Pixel 4a is still going, but there doesn't appear to much anything on the market to replace it that doesn't have a boatload of caveats.
