For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

HEADPHONE JACKS

[-] macrocarpa@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

A simple way for any audio output device following the global standard used for the past 25 years to output sound directly from the device. Failure rate is one tenth that of any other external port. Use is so widespread in home audio that it's absence is seen as a detractor.

The original Walkman has a 3.5mm jack. That's how far back this standard has been in common use.

I can't comprehend why anyone puts up with not having an audio jack.

probably because they are fine with mediocre audio

Redmagic 9 has it. Now I'm not saying it's the greatest phone, but it does have a massive screen, a massive battery and that sweet headphone jack.
