Let's stop to admire the excellent UX of the 3.5mm jack * tactile feedback when connected (it clicks, you hear it & feel it). * "find my device" : just pull on

  It rotates and has no direction, so you can untwist your headphone wire without unplugging it, and plugging it in is foolproof.

    It had some issues where in unplugging and plugging the cable would cause voltage spikes because the pins would get dragged across the wrong connectors and not all be disconnected at once. Which is why you hear that pop when using loudspeakers and (un)plugging the cable. This apparently lead to damage of the speaker over time as well.

      Which many devices solved by not sending output to the connector until after it sensed resistance on the pins, then enabled the audio output. So, another problem solved by 3.5mm jacks! God I miss having a real connector on my phone :(

        iPhone SE 1st Gen here ^^ Handy in sense of being small enough for a pocket, I can keep it with me during sport and don't feel the need for a Smartwatch. WiFi, Bluetooth, Jack, Accelerometer and GPS. The new iPhones use the same case again, their just bigger, with breakable glas on the back and more expensive. I will not buy a new one - their degraded in all terms.

  We really might need one if chip shortages are gonna be a problem.

  You also forgot about not having one more battery to keep charged.

    excellent point. and no one seems concerns about volatile lithium batteries in their ear canal
