Can we get back the headphone jacks instead?

I used to share this opinion but grew out of it tbh. From an engineering perspective headphone jacks are: a) a huge waste of space for no real functionality as the function is integrated in USB-C or lightning. b) an unnecessary weak point in water- and dustproofing. If you need an audio jack, specialised models still have it or a dedicated android audio player (fiio make great ones) will serve you better. I say this as an audiophile btw.
