It's a ten dollar dongle that can stay attached to your audio cable out of the way when not using it and has no perceptible affect on sound quality, and there's even passthrough options for when you need to charge, so the whole no-audio-jack thing is a moot point nowadays. It's a solved problem for years now.
- Gormo 2mo agoUsing a dongle makes it impossible to charge the phone or connect it to any other device while using audio, which I do all the time. I also frequently interchange my wired earbuds between my phone and laptop, and don't want to be bothered with an extra loose dongle when I disconnect the earbuds. Sorry, this isn't a solved problem at all, apart from the solution of only buying phones that have audio jacks.

- SoftTalker 2mo agoI have a passthrough dongle so I can charge my iPhone in the car and use an aux audio patch cable, and it's quite a large thing, certainly not unobtrusive but if you're charging maybe that doesn't really matter.

- Gormo 2mo agoBut why would I bother with a dongle to compensate for a problem I can just avoid in the first place by not buying a phone without an audio jack?
