Alternatively, if your current phone doesn't have a headphone jack, do you wish it did?

Interesting, I always keep Bluetooth off unless I'm using my BT headphones. Saves battery. I never took privacy into consideration

For sure, but I don’t think the average non-technical person messes with that at all. Privacy is technically a concern with wifi and Bluetooth on because your phone basically acts as a beacon, but there are some mitigations in place to switch mac addresses and stuff fairly regularly.

Disabling things like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi has had a negligible affect on battery life for years
