Buy a USB-C/Lightning to 3.5mm dongle and leave it permanently attached. Not ideal I know.
But one benefit is that the DAC Apple designed in that dongle is so good that the sound quality far exceeds any phone with a built-in 3.5mm jack.
- patentatt 5y agoIt's very good indeed, but last I recall it measured slightly worse than the built-in 3.5mm Jack in previous iPhones. But it still likely exceeds transparency especially for the form-factor and use case.

This is absolutely not true, there are a ton of phones with better DAC/amp combos than the one on the Apple dongle (and even when the dongle is better, it's frequently not better by enough to be audibly different). Unfortunately some of the best analog audio came on phones that were made by LG who threw in the towel last year.
- danaos 5y agoWhile "far exceeds" is a bold claim, the Apple dongle (specifically the A2049 model) is widely regarded as a great DAC for the money.[1] [1]: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/review-apple-vs-google-usb-c-headphone-adapters.5541/ https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/r...
