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

I guarantee the comments on this thread are hilarious biased to the point of being echos of echos in this chamber.

The relationship I have work my phone is that I don't necessarily have a phone that I can use as a music player, as much as I have a music player/internet device that I can call with.

I bought a used phone and needed good low light camera for documentation of network closets, so I had to compromise on the wish for a headphone jack. Now I got an adapter that I use at home to use my headphones for calls. On the go I have noise cancelling equipment that uses bluetooth anyway. It would still be more handy to have the jack built in.

good low light camera

Pretty much any smart phone should be able to do this with software, really - it’s all just a factor of ISO (light sensitivity) and exposure time, and pretty much every phone sensor can have an absurdly high ISO.

I bought a new smartphone a few months back and I didn't realize it doesn't have a headphone jack until recently. That was the first instance when I wanted to use it. But it turned out that BT was supported in that case too.

I absolutely see how removing jack is a problem for some people, but there is also a significant group which couldn't care less. I haven't used wired headphones in years.

Nope. AirPods.

I personally don't use sound/videos not at home

Mine doesn't have a headphone jack but Xiaomi did provide a Type C to Headphone jack adapter in the box. It would have been better to have it embedded in the phone itself. But now, what happens is I don't use the phone while it's charging. So good enough for me.

I am once again telling you to use an adapter or external dac.

Not as someone who only uses bt headphones, but as someone who owns more sets of wired headphones than almost everyone itt.

Stop relying on a dac included as an afterthought. Stop relying on a port that was never designed for pocket use and routinely tears the end off your $300 senhausers.

I'm blessed to be the kind of pleb who is happy with built in DACs and $9 Panasonic earbuds. Headphone jack for life!

I have an adapter that splits so I can charge my phone while I talk on a headset while working. Does that count?
