Since you asked, the lack of the headphone jack is the exact reason I have not upgraded my phone. I use my phone for music in my two cars and my home gym. None of those currently have Bluetooth.

Upgrading all 3 is just a matter of money of course - throw everything I have away & buy new. I see no reason to do that.

For the car, I use a tunai firefly ldac, it's an incredibly simple and reliable device.

They're fairly cheap at ~35$, and can be reused if you change cars. I ended up using mine to make my home stereo system wireless after my last car was replaced.
