On a recent post, there were a lot of comments, which said that they were missing the headphones on newer mobile devices.

How many actually use the headphone jack?

I ask, because I have one on my phone, since I really wanted one, but I rarely use it. Like Tops 1/Month.

    What headphones jack! There’s no headphone jacks anymore! They got rid of it because apple wanted to sell air pods!

    God damnit!

    No replaceable batteries, he SD card slots no headphone jack! Nothing!

    (I am aware that there are still phones out there with headphones jacks but they’re either really low end or from a smaller manufacturer like Asus that don’t really sell at T-Mobile which is my service provider)

      Move to mint mobile with the same number and you can basically use it on any phone. Then get a high end Sony phone. Thank me later. Its working really well for me.

        I pay $180 for the year with Mint…I used to have the snap dragon 800 series phones only. Nexus 6P, Razer 2…But i’m currently on the Motorola Edge 2021 snapdragon 600 series and a Sony Backbone for the Gaming.

        Unlimited talk/Tex 5G of full speed data and 2G after. It’s enough to stream my music for the month in my car. Otherwise i pull like 45-60Gb over wifi, because the modern day smart phone is just one step away from being the wrist computer from Final Fantasy Spirits Within.

      I went that route with an unlocked ASUS zenfone and it turns out that phone is impossible to replace the screen on because replacement parts are not available where I live. I had to buy a new phone without a headphone jack. Check for parts availability before buying something from a smaller brand.
