Alternatively, if your current phone doesn’t have a headphone jack, do you wish it did?

    Wireless has always been an option. Having the headphone jack doesn’t mean the Bluetooth module gets removed.

      But it does mean a half cubic centimeter of space in my device that I’ll never use.

          Not when I remove it. But it allows the manufacturer to reassess the locations and sizes of everything, which in the end saves space.

            Really? Because so far despite removing consumer choice the phones have been getting bigger rather than more efficiently using their space. Also you just use the screen, I don’t recall a screen having to make way for a tiny headphone jack. In fact I don’t really see any benefits coming from freeing up that little space. Not that I can verify that for myself since that would mean being able to open my phone more than once and therefore being able replace the battery and repair my phone and we can’t have that because it would hurt the bottom line of small mom n pop businesses like Apple or Samsung.

            A headphone jack is certainly not such a big deal in terms of space that it warrants removing it at the expense of consumer choice just because redballoon here wants an extra cm³ inside their phone to be empty.
