I don't like smartphones. I use a dumbphone.

But this is a wonderful initiative.

We can but hope. I have a dongle that plugs into my charging point to make it a headphone jack, but it's not the same

I recently went through that dongle buying experience. Having to get the correct DAC and amplifier chipset so the sound won't be too low is annoying. For the record I ended up going with one that has the CX31993 DAC and the MAX97220 amplifier, it doesn't have a real name so I'll just give a link: https://aliexpress.com/item/1005008755907868.html. It is a bit louder than my first impulsive buy, but I haven't tested the microphone yet.
