Lack of one is an immediate showstopper for me, too.
Genuinely curious, is it the lack of Bluetooth earphones? I can't remember the last time I saw someone using wired earphones
It was definitely a showstopper when Apple first did it because most people were still using wired earphones, but these days everything is wireless
No, it's because of batteries. At least for me. We're creating more ewaste by shoving Bluetooth earbuds down our throats due to no headphone jack.
Edit: Currently rocking the Pixel 7 Pro, and once I'm done with this phone (I hope to have it for at least 4 more years), I hope Sony still has headphone jacks on their phones. Since that's what I'll most likely go for.
Same here. I work long shifts and know that some 200MAh batteries aren't going to cut it for long before being thrown in the trash. I have some nice BT headphones that I use at home or on flights but my primary pair are still wired.
