Use the adapter plug as mentioned.

Type C can't spin 360°. I have a 90-degree 3.5mm jack, which doesn't create a risk of breaking the port, so I can put my phone in my pocket in any position.

Hurts waterproofing, phone slimness and design

Check out the Sony Xperia 10. It's the smallest phone on the market with a 3.5mm jack, micro SD slot, 5000 mAh battery, and IP68 rating.

Nothing was taken away. It's literally just combined with another port now.

Haha, remember 2000s, when most phones were using proprietary connector for both charging and headphones output? Everyone hated that stuff.

Headphone jack portion of the adapter can

Remember the 2000s

Yeah, because everyone having a different charger is the same thing as an actually UNIVERSAL connector.

I mean that phones had combo port both for charging and headphones. Using adapters was annoying. And if you saying that 3.5mm is obsolete than why newest Macbooks have 3.5mm port?
