MODERATORS
They did decide for me by the point that a once obvious feature to include in a phone is discarded in all but a very slight number of niche phones where I'd have to compromise on a bunch of other features in return for something that used to be almost mandatory feature at once point.
I'm pretty sure there are a very large number of phone models on the market with headphone sockets.
Right. That's the choice. As with everything one buys. And which nobody has taken away.
Requiring a headphone jack in 2023 rules out most "flagship" phones. If you're looking for a mid-range then your odds are better. But if you want a phone with better camera array, then you're leaving mid-range territory and chances are that you'd have to compromise on either the headphone jack or your camera quality. That's about what I meant by "compromise" - the requirement for a headphone jack significantly limits your choices.
