        kids these days won’t understand having to have their headphone plugs rotated and tilted just right then wrapped to hold it for the sound to work… and back then we bought them ourselves for like 9 bucks

      Sure, but then you should be pushing for two USB ports per phone, right? Because Bluetooth headphones are shit for both batteries, and a single-port phone requires, at minimum, a weird dongle to charge and listen at the same time, creating a single, cumbersome point of failure for the only extant jack.

        Personally, I don’t want another USB port, like, I would be actively against it. I wouldn’t use it ever, it will be collecting dust and be a potential point of break, it will ultimately bulk up the phone which is big enough already. Meanwhile, good splitter/hub/dongle costs nothing compared to all other phone expenses, and will do the same and only be used when needed.

        I’d be down for multiple usb ports. I’ve thought about making a custom case to integrate a charge passthrough hub before but it always ends up in the stalled projects pile.
