Do you prefer the headphone jack to be at the top or at the bottom on a phone, and why?

      I still miss it so much. I’d take bottom or top, just to have that hole back. I have some amazing headphones, but they’re like 20+ years old and now gathering dust.

      I brought my favourite set of noise cancelling headphones with me after switching phones before I realized I had no devices to plug it into anymore.

    To be honest i’d prefer it to be there at all considering the current trend of removing it.

    But to answer your question, jack on top, so when the phone is plugged in the wall you can stay on the other side since the headphone cable wont be bent

      I don’t think we can call it a trend anymore, shit hasn’t changed for a few years, not having an headphone jack is the norm and having one can now be a selling point for a phone

      Zenfone, Xperia, Mi… Stick to those brands who respect you as a customer.

        Asus respects you as a customer? That’s why they just lost a lawsuit because they wouldn’t provide a bootloader unlocking method?

          Yeah, because everyone memes on Apple for removing shit then they do the same thing to save a buck.

            Original iPhone was an iPod Touch with a SIM card & the ads were all about black silhouettes with white earbuds in. You let Tim cook & you start losing functionality as Apple transitions into an ad platform with all the data they have harvested.

            How old are you? And doesn’t your second question contradict your first?

            If you were being serious: iPhones have had headphone jacks until 2016, the iPhone 7 was the first to come without one.

    Honestly it doesn’t really matter to me. Depending on whether it’s on the top or bottom I’ll just put my phone in my pocket to make it point upward when I use it. I tend to use Bluetooth anyway most of the time, so the headphone jack is mostly there as backup and for connecting other audio devices at parties etc.

    Bottom. All phones I’ve ever had have the headphone jack at the bottom, right next to the charging port. So, why would I want it anywhere else than where I’m used to it being?

    I do not care about having a headphone jack, but it would be nice to have the charging port on top; it’s more out of the way for me.
