On a recent post, there were a lot of comments, which said that they were missing the headphones on newer mobile devices.

How many actually use the headphone jack?

I ask, because I have one on my phone, since I really wanted one, but I rarely use it. Like Tops 1/Month.

People like having choice, it was never about saving space in phones. I like my wired bose headphones that I've had for 15 years and will likely last at least 15 more. Those wireless ones are the definition of planned obsolescence.

People like having choices. Bring hdmi ports to phones.

Around 2011 or so, certain Android models had mini hdmi. I even bought a mini hdmi to hdmi cable. I believe screen mirroring became common and killed it because I didn't see it on phones after a couple of years.

C to HDMI doesn't sound that bad, so just have 3-5 USB-C ports on the phone.
