Alternatively, if your current phone doesn't have a headphone jack, do you wish it did?

It's why I'm getting a Zenfone to replace my ~6 year old phone now instead of a Fairphone. It even has a far better IP rating than the fairphone despite the "horrible" water intrusion supposedly caused by 3.5mm jacks.

Fairphones lying BS about why they removed the port convinced me to never buy one of their phones, even if I didn't care about it.

Sony listened to their customers complaints and brought back the headphone jack for the 2nd generation Xperia 1.

Their phones continue to feature some of the best waterproofing (real world performance, and not just the rating they slap on it) in the entire industry.

That has never been a justifiable argument against the headphone jack, despite being an all-too-frequent one.
