We used to have earbuds that don't need to be charged because they had a headphone jack, didn't get lost so easily because they had a cord attached to a headphone jack, never lost the bluetooth connection because they had a headphone jack, and they cost less because they had a headphone jack. https://bsky.app/profile/daisyfm.bsky.social/post/3l3mfjc6sn62k

I still only buy phones with a 3.5mm socket.

I'm looking for a new phone and it's so frustrating. There are a couple that still have it but there are none that have all the features I want. There's no heartrate monitors on phones anymore either because they want you to buy a smart watch.

I find https://gsmarena.com is the right place to start as you can search, among many other things, for phones with a 3.5mm socket.

This is my current rage inducement. I will be able to keep untethered headphones for likely less than 24 hrs before losing one or both. Plus, without a 3.5 jack, I can't charge the phone and listen at the same time. No more heart monitor, you have to buy a separate smart watch. I wish I could afford a fairphone.

Wait, even they don't have it anymore. Someone needs to make an a la carte phone
