I like having it on top for being able to set my phone up against something still, but if it’s in my pocket I want the top of my phone down so I take it out it’s right, which means the bottom Jack works better. So ideally I’d want both
Yes
All phones I've had, had the jack on the bottom where it's in the way of me holding the phone or placing the phone on something. I always wondered why it's not just at the top.
BTW just got a new phone (Oneplus) and I'm glad to have found one that has a jack at all
I always wondered why it's not just at the top.
Couple reasons:
The charger port is also on the bottom, and if you have the phone plugged in and also feeding audio through an audio cable, you'd presumably want the wires to go the same way.
Usually people put their phones into their pockets upside down, since it will be the right way up when you pull it back out without having to reorient it in your hand. In older, more innocent days when we all listened to music with wired headphones, the port would be facing out of your pocket, so you could keep it wired in without fumbling to flip the phone the other way around when you take it back out to use it.
Top right.
It's best place when holding it in landscape mode.
Ever since I've gotten some decent noise cancelling Bluetooth headphones, I don't really care where the headphone jack is or even if there is one. It happened way too many times that the cable got snagged on something and yanked the buds out of my ears, and I'm well past the age where I had the cable under my shirt and the earbuds dangling in front of me all the time. Especially when running or otherwise exercising, I don't miss the cable one tiny bit.
What privacy respecting phone are you using that also has a headphone jack? If it has an sd card slot too I'll think I've gone back a decade
Anywhere but the bottom half of the phone. I hate that the charging port is on the bottom. It’s in the way when I need to use my phone while charging.
bottom, so I can charge it and have headphones plugged in at the same time while it's in my pocket.
I had the last generation iPod nano, and none of the clip-on cases I could find would put it upside down like the way I preferred my phone so I cut it with an exacto knife to reverse it
Bottom. All phones I've ever had have the headphone jack at the bottom, right next to the charging port. So, why would I want it anywhere else than where I'm used to it being?
To rest your phone on your chest in bed.
You guys have headphone jack in your phones? I certainly miss headphone jack in a phone
I do not care about having a headphone jack, but it would be nice to have the charging port on top; it's more out of the way for me.
Bottom.
