Give me a phone with two USB-C ports so I don't need a dongle when I wire up to my USB-C headphones and battery bank

I would actually spend money in this. :)

That wouldn't be bad, for extra couple of bucks headphone manufacturers could give us C jacks and a pass-through as well.

Wonder if this problem will be "solved" with Qi2 (magnetic charging) in the future. Pixel 10 is supposed to have it if we're talking Android. Otherwise with 2 USB-C ports you have Lenovo Legion 2 Pro and Lenovo Legion Y90 but that's not mainstream

I had high hopes for wireless charging. But in the end it's just heat and battery stress for no good reason. Just bring back some Pogo pens or maybe a couple of pads on the back of the phone or something.
