The most recent phone I purchased does not a 3.5mm jack. It wasn't really a decision I realized I was making, as the phone's previous iteration had had it in an era when that wasn't a given.
There have been a few times that I've missed it, not many, certainly fewer than 10 never a huge deal. But that's infinitely more times than I've thought:
Next phone will definitely have one because honestly
Is enough justification to spend $0.25 (if that) for them to integrate a jack. What stupid cost cutting.
You don't think about how glad you are you don't have a jack because you're thinking about the nicer camera or bigger battery, or both, rather than the jack. No matter which way you fall the reasoning certainly isn't just cost cutting
