I was wanting a phone with a headphone jack but the only one that fit my needs was an LG handset that cost $900 and wasn't supported by ATT. The Galaxy Note crisis and general dissatisfaction with a previous Galaxy ruled out any of Samsung's phones for me. On the other hand the OnePlus 7 Pro was only $499 with everything else I needed in a phone - except a headphone jack.
Maybe I hadn't looked hard enough. But my thought at the time was for my needs I'd have to spend $400 more for a headphone jack on a phone I might not be able to use with my carrier.
I ended up getting the 7 Pro and use a dual headphone/charging adapter. I hate it and wonder what the market has come to if they feel we should put up with this. But that's the tradeoff I chose.
My dream phone is one without the rounded corners or curved screen, an SD card slot, a decent camera (at least Pixel XL quality) and a headphone jack.
I should also mention it's a miserable feeling to think that a standard as hideously broken as Bluetooth is here to stay because it's won out the short distance wireless connection space and there's no going back and retrofitting the billions of smartphones that will be forever fitted with Bluetooth until they're thrown out.
