The 3.5MM jack isn't coming back, but having USB-C adapters would be a good compromise. I don't see any major phone maker shipping them though, and you know Apple would charge $40 for it. Even Anker's is like $18, and they are the current "good, but not crazy expensive" accessory brand.
It could come back immediately if a law was passed requiring it but we're too busy fighting about social issues to actually expect the government to do it's job.
Are you actually saying that social issues are less important then a headphone jack? Like, I would prefer a headphone jack, so much so that I simply buy phones that have them, but it's not that important.
No. I'm saying that we need to learn to set aside our differences, even when we differ on very important issues where some people have very bad opinions, to work together on unrelated issues.
The current system of hating each other so much we can't make any progress only benefits the 1%.
That's not what you typed. Also, headphone jacks aren't why we hate the 1%. If you want a headphone jack, just buy the phones with a headphone jack. Don't feel that you need to own the flagship phones. That's just marketing.
They could also bring back 24-pin serial connectors, the old ps/2 mouse and keyboard connectors and physical keypads.
They’re not going to.
The vast majority of people are going to be buying one version of Bluetooth headsets or another anyway. The wired headsets they’re not shipping were mostly just e-waste, and the jack represented another point of liquids ingress on your phone.
False equivalency. USB is just as good or better than PS2 connectors. Bluetooth can exist on phones anyway and USB C has all its well documented issues.
the 3.5mm jack has one thing in common with all of those connectors: Nobody uses them anymore.
as I said: the VAST majority of people aren't using wired headsets. We're in the modern era using bluetooth-capable headsets. Which is why bluetooth is in literally every phone for about twenty years. It's alot more convenient than dealing with a wire.
