I compared a tonne of flagship smart phones not that long ago. The Sony Xperia series was the only one to still have an audio jack. They’re quite expensive tho, so ended up with a phone sans the jack. I miss it dearly.
Did that. Still annoying. Have to bring it everywhere. Will wear out the Usb C jack faster (pretty hard to wear out an audio jack tho). Can’t charge and listen to audio.
USB-C puts the springy bits that can wear out in the connector end, not the jack. The jack is just a piece of circuit board with bare traces on it, it’s very sturdy.
You don’t have to bring it everywhere, you attach it to your headphones and then it’s part of the headphones that you want to wear.

See how they massacred my boy…
Buy a USB-C to headphone jack dongle. They’re about $5 and work on any phone.
