Yes, I would reconsider buying a phone that didn't have one. That said, I use a bluetooth speaker or bluetooth headphones.

I want it and use it and therefore got a S10+ just bc it's Samsung last flagship that featured it. What's even more annoying, that my 10" tablet hasn't got one there is absolutely no shortage in space on that device why you had to drop it.
yes
I much prefer wireless headphones, because I keep breaking every plug. I even tried soldering them, but that ended in a catastrophe lol. That being said, I recently lost my wireless pair and had to pick my old K450. Now I'm grateful that I picked a phone with a headphone jack. I wasn't even checking if it has one while buying.
No, i hate cables and if i really Need cable aux i have an usb-c to aux adpter.
I'd like to have a headphone jack but I'm not that bothered either way. USB C dongles are cheap and I just leave it attached to my headphones.

My current phone does not have a headphone jack but I wish it did. It seems to struggle with Bluetooth sometimes, dropping connections randomly.
I missed it until I got AirPods. Now I got the pro ones and they’re amazing. I also use BT receivers if I want to plug to a stereo system or something like that.
I won't buy a phone without it. Currently on a Pixel 5a 5g
My phone (Pixel 6) doesn't have one but I wish it did. I still use an aux cord to listen in my car or to plug into my amplifier when I practice on headphones, so I have to use 3.5mm to USB-C converter dongles. I also can't charge my phone while using an aux cable now which is annoying.

I do not use mine, because if I want to listen to something in public, I just save it for later, when I'm home. Then I can play it at whatever volume I want.
Back when I went to the gym before covid, I had a dedicated music device I used for music, not my phone.
I was annoyed when I found out the phone I was considering didn’t have a headphone jack, but after checking the prices of Bluetooth headphones, I wasn’t as concerned. The battery charge for the headphones lasted longer than I was expecting, too. Now I’ve grown to prefer them, and wouldn’t go back even if I had the option.
I don't care about the headphone jack. Bluetooth earbuds are super convenient, and when I want higher quality I plug in a Fiio BTR5 to the USB-C port and use that to power good headphones. Way better than a built in dac/amp would be.
I have it but I have never used it. I've been using my Galaxy note 9 user since December 2018. I have active noice cancelling headphones for most scenarios and true wireless earphones for gym.
Eh, don't care. If it has it nice enough but I have two great pairs of BT headphones and a USB-C pair.
I use BT only.
My phone has a headphone jack and dual SIM cards but I would totally trade the jack for an SD Card slot.
Sometimes the second sim card slot can be used as an SD card slot, maybe yours can too?

I used to be quite hardline on this, however now I use a portable DAP (Hiby R5 Gen 2) for my music. It has a class A amplifier, balanced output, a Terabyte of storage, and streams Qubuz Hi-Res. So I don't use my phone now.
It would be nice if it did, but my newer Bluetooth headphones are a joy, so it doesn't matter most of the time.
