well if that’s your hobby, maybe there is a reason for it… but those are actual cameras with good lenses and sensors. not phones made for the masses who won’t even have an idea how to use them.
You’re not going to get what you want here. Its abandoned tech. Not saying its better or worse, but they’re not going to add them back in. They dont want ungrounded analog devices plugging into their digital devices.
The vast majority of people want a jack connector, this literally why you can still buy a shit ass cable from one of the most evil company on planet earth
They already have a DAC since they have speakers. If s USB DAC can be safe then an internal one can safely be connected to analog outputs too. It’s just a connector.
But like, it doesn’t hurt you. It’s not like you have to choose between a phone that can do Bluetooth or a phone that has a headphone jack. Your opinion hurts us, bit of Orpington doesn’t hurt you. You see that right?
The charging port doesn’t break from plugging in the cable, it happens because the headphone cable gets pulled at angles and usb-c isn’t good at handling the stress from. I’ve literally had this happen. And yes, Apple’s dongle IS one of the best usb-c dongles. They have always sold it dirt cheap as a way to assuage the people that were angry at the headphone jack removal. I am surprised they haven’t raised the price after all these years; it has to be sold at a loss at this point.
I’m still, after several years, confused on why didn’t they make the USB-C connector circular. Wouldn’t have to deal with the whole “spin 1/2” issue USB has had for decades, and there wouldn’t be a “weird angle” for the cable to be pulled at, all angles would be equal.
I haven’t had it happen to a phone in a long time (though it did happen to the LG phone I had like two phones ago).
I’ve had it happen to another device that charges with USB-C (Focus V Carta 2). To the point where I had to buy a wireless charger (that itself needs to charge with USB-C so I have to make sure not to do it again) built specifically for the device and it’s the only way I can charge the device now.
Amazing device though. I’ve had it for like 6 years now and that’s the only part that stopped working. I haven’t inhaled combusted plant matter since.
Im sure the device is end of life after 6 years anyways, so that sounds about right. I personally havent ever had a usb-c port fail, but ive only been using iphones and pixels. Good workaround with the wireless charging though.
Um, so FYI there are multiple ways to charge some phones. Some can do wireless charging plus let the usb-c port use a 3.5mm adapter for a headset. Its a pretty decent solution.
How often you needed to replace 3.5mm female socket? I don’t think I ever encountered that (if there were issues it was always with the cable), but had to replace USB female socket several times.
Interesting, experience was that those were quite durable: 3 connections and then the port soldered into the board.
Any issues I seen were with the headphone cable and the jack.
I had a lot of issues with USB especially micro USB that just worn down after use even when your were careful. And because it is using digital protocol I had to remove and insert jack again until it clicks.
All phones have headphone jacks if you buy a $10 adapter
We want it built-in, period
I honestly could not care less about it.
Good for you!
but the 5 cameras (6 with front) are soo worth it, right
Yes this must mean that I care about the cameras. Good point.
Yes, I care about the cameras. I do not care about the headphone jack, I almost exclusively use shokz bluetooth headphones.
there is no reason at all to put 5 cameras on the back.
and there’s no reason for me to daily carry three camera bodies and 6 lenses but here we are.

No. Period.
yes, period (we can do this all day, let’s go 😆)
No you want the vast majority of people don’t care at all.
Yes I want a built-in jack connector lmfao

Apparently the majority of those people you are referring to arent phone engineers because they’re not building them in.
You’re abandoned in this forum.

“people don’t care about good solutions”
Okay and that’s a good argument because…?
Here is one of the best adapters you can buy:

The charging port (aka USB-C port) isnt going to break because you occasionally plug in a cable into it.

It absolutely can.
Which model phones have their usb-c ports breaking?
I haven’t had it happen to a phone in a long time (though it did happen to the LG phone I had like two phones ago).

No the device works great, the port failed like 3 years ago.
The glass part is meant to be replaced and I’ve gone through a few but they’re like $30-40. The rest of the device still works just fine.
Oh thats good. Glad to hear its still getting firmware updates
Engineers disagree.
Which ones?
Qualified ones? 😆
Such as?
USB-C ports typically rated for 10k mating cycles
3.5mm ports typically rated for 5-10k mating cycles.
Looks like we have our winner.
The adapter is extra room and gives a joint point that can be bent and broken.
Built-in > Bolt-in.
Right. Much easier to replace an adapter than a built in 3.5mm jack.
Much harder to replace the built-in USB-C port and you also lose a lot of other features of the phone (such as… ya know… charging) in the meanwhile.
Really, AI has brought people intellects that low, even here on Lemmy?
Wireless charging doesnt use up a port. What AI is involved with my responses?
Who said anything about wireless charging? The only wireless my phone needs is the network connection.
Um, so FYI there are multiple ways to charge some phones. Some can do wireless charging plus let the usb-c port use a 3.5mm adapter for a headset. Its a pretty decent solution.
Wow now I have to spend extra on a crappy wireless charger that isless efficient than a billion cords I already have
Bummer dude

Ive seen quite a few slots pushed in too hard or bent sideways in my days
Interesting, experience was that those were quite durable: 3 connections and then the port soldered into the board.
Any issues I seen were with the headphone cable and the jack.
I had a lot of issues with USB especially micro USB that just worn down after use even when your were careful. And because it is using digital protocol I had to remove and insert jack again until it clicks.
I have this problem with USB C on my work’s Mac.
