I understand why some people have use for the 3.5 mm jack, what I don't understand is why in the world you would ever let that be the one thing that stops you from choosing an otherwise great phone.
You are artificially limiting your choice to an extreme degree over a feature that only a microscopic minority of people care about, and one that you can easily get over by either using a dongle or usb-c headphones.
The only thing you can't do is charge the device while using said headphones (unless they have wireless charging but let's assume they don't), but even then phones charge so fast to 50% these days that I never found this to be an actual problem. Unless you're listening to music non-stop for like 10 hours straight, but that seems unlikely.
It just feels so absurd to me that people hammer on and on about how this is an insurmountable deal breaker. I happily use my wired IEMs with my Pixel phone every day and never once have I felt like I'm losing out on anything.
