    Removable batteries are coming back, as they become mandatory in the EU in 2027.
    Or you can already get one with a Fairphone (which also has SD card slot).
    As for the headphone jack, I’m afraid it won’t come back. Bluetooth alternatives are far better these days (I got both, so I know from experience), and good adapters (like Apple one) are barely more than $10.

      Disputable.

      • they are cable-less, thus need to be charged separately
      • they are cable-less, thus it is easier to lose them
      • bluetooth implementation is a potential security vulnerability
      • transmission by radio will always be less energy efficient than transmission by wire

        i’m a musician, have a trained ear and even with mild tinnitus have yet to see any BT audio transmission that matches the fidelity of cables.

        I have two devices, one is my phone, and one only plays music. I only ever use my phone as my phone, and my music device as my music device in my car, and both run over Bluetooth.

        It is a crapshoot as to which role my car will assign to which device. Sometimes I have to put my phone in airplane mode so that the car won’t try to assign it the media player role in Bluetooth settings. I’m not impressed.
