Phone makers need to understand that a missing headphone jack is a dealbreaker.
Tho it wouldn’t be if companies would at least put two usb ports on the devices. I’d be fine using usb wired earbuds as long as I don’t have to give my phone one of those dumb splitter tails.
… what you’re saying doesn’t make any sense. If you were to ask all smart phone users about the jack, most people wouldn’t care much, ergo: only a small segment cares.
That doesn’t change just because of how the jack was phased out.
The USB C charging ports on my phones tend to become unreliable over time.
It’s manageable for charging as you can not move the phone once it’s plugged in, but listening to music on the go becomes impossible.
I have two, they are flexible, and I find them obnoxious to have to use. I specifically chose my current phone because it has a headphone jack, and I won’t make the mistake of missing that again.

*for you
Please. Like 5 people still use headphone jacks
Bluetooth is great
No, bluetooth is not great. Just because you don’t use something doesn’t mean other people are like you.
Just great. https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-bluetooth-headphone-jacking-a-key-to-your-phone
It only is for a very small segment
It makes no sense to say it’s for a very small segment when we weren’t given the choice in the first place.

That’s just how things evolve
Prove it.
People are still buying them.
If they’re a “deal breaker” then phones would not be selling.
It’s not a deal breaker, it’s just a major pain in the ass, and my next phone will absofuckinglutely have a headphone jack.
I would say it’s a pretty big annoyance but not a deal breaker to me. USB-C to 3.5 dongles are cheap and not that annoying if you get a flexible one
