I don’t like smartphones. I use a dumbphone.

But this is a wonderful initiative.

    Bring back the headphone jack & we’ll be happy.

    Next up, make the phone compatible with Linux OSs

      We can but hope. I have a dongle that plugs into my charging point to make it a headphone jack, but it’s not the same

        I recently went through that dongle buying experience. Having to get the correct DAC and amplifier chipset so the sound won’t be too low is annoying. For the record I ended up going with one that has the CX31993 DAC and the MAX97220 amplifier, it doesn’t have a real name so I’ll just give a link: https://aliexpress.com/item/1005008755907868.html. It is a bit louder than my first impulsive buy, but I haven’t tested the microphone yet.

        What do you do to break them?

        In my forties and never broken a headphone jack, headphones, cable, or in fact anything like that. I tend to take care of my stuff and not treat it in such a way as I’m going to break it.

          Put it in my jeans pocket and move about my day as usual. Cycling broke them in a year, reliably.
