Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

I'm running out of options and I may have to consider a jackless phone next. What are the options?
I went with Samsung XCover 6 Pro. Not only has it a headphone jack but a removable battery as well.
But the performance is terrible for the price. The only jack phone I would reccomend is poco f5.
I don't play games with my phone. The performance is more than good enough for my use. And it has a removable battery just like the ones I had before
The initial performance is always decent. The problem is the planned obsolessence. To compare two 2017 phones: my mom's Huawei p10 and my Redmi 4X, for example. The p10's geekbench score is ~2* the Redmi's and it's visible even in simple use. Web browsing works fine on the p10, but on the Redmi, it takes way longer to render a page slightly heavier, than wikipedia. OSMand works on the p10 perfectly, but on the Redmi, it takes very long to calculate routes and crashes often. If you want to use a phone for ~10 years, it's usually better to invest in a performant one.
I'll choose better features over performance any day but thanks
Sony. Even their flagship phones have headphone jack afaik.
Which unfortunately, isn't available in my country.
If you truly must use your wired headphones with your cell phone? They make some really nice small form factor USB C to audio jack adapters. Hell, saw a few that were cable+adapter+AudiophileApprovedDAC for what that is worth.
Those jacks can't turn and aren't strong enough for work. I'm going to turn around quickly, snag a cable and - well, those ports are so dense that I don't need to really do a lot of damage, do I?
While I'd normally completely approve of the blatant rip-off that is buying a c$20 adapter to make up for the manufacturer omitting a 3c part on the build, their answer "oh we know the startac was a thing but we just cant figure out how to fit a headphone jack on something twice the size" rings a little hollow. It's like they're admitting to stupid.
